The challenge today over at 365 Cards is Quite A Pair and we had to design an Anniversary card or an Engagement Congrats, anything else goes but NO Wedding cards! At first I thought great I am just about to complete a wedding card for my bestie that she had ordered, and then I read on but NO Wedding cards. . .well that took the wind out of my sails didn't it? After that I just sat for a while staring at the window like I usually do, as if that will show an image of what I need lol. I decided on the colour scheme and the rest just fell into place. The main image was stamped in Baja Breeze with the flower sprig from the set stamped over a section with Blue Bayou as well as the Congratulations in Blue Bayou. The card is a 5 x 5 for a change. I meant to emboss the 5 petal flower but I forgot. All done and dusted within 3/4 of an hour. . not too bad.
I so hope Mr Linky is not playing games tonight and I can load my card up with no worries. That's me for another night but. . .In the meantime. . .
Walk about your day with beauty.
