I'm Back!

You ask from where?  Lol... nowhere really.  Not like I left on vacaction or anything, although I wish.  I just don't know where time seems to go.  It's been almost 3 weeks I think since I updated my blog, but I have been keeping super busy. 

Not much to chat about today, but I do have a card creation that was posted over on the Couture Cardstock blog the other week.  We were lucky to have a product exchange with Prima Marketing, and this card features some of the gorgeous floral accents I was givin' to create with. 

Couture Cardstock teamed with Prima creates classic elegance, and I just love the combination! When I saw the packets of white paper and pink tinted canvas flowers from Prima, I could only imagine how terrific they would look dressing up a pretty spring hat. The White Monochromatic family of Couture Cardstock,  combined with Prima's romantic elements definitely inspire my Shabby-Chic side!

The Hat Stand image cut from the Heritage Cricut cartridge was the perfect choice for providing the romantic element that I wanted for this card. A sheet of Prima IOD patterned paper was used to create the 6x6 card base, as well as additional flowers to adorn the hat. Three different sizes of artisan label frames (Cricut- "Just Because" cards cart.) were cut from Alabaster Columns cardstock. The top layer was given added dimension with foam adhesive and once the embellished hat stand, which was cut from Winter White was adhered to the front, the entire card was given a spritz of Old Lace Glimmer Mist. All of these products work together so well to create the perfectly Shabby-Chic inspired card design!

Also, the new May kit for Serendipity will be up soon on the 1st of May!  This one was a gorgeous kit to design with so I look forward to showcasing what I was able to create with it.  For now though I will leave you all with a lil' peek...
