wishing you well....

Pretty soon the tulips will be popping up....oh I can hardly wait! For today's card I used one of my favourite stamp sets from Papertrey, Vintage Picnic! I have used this time and time again. for the lettering I just printed them out on the computer and then cut them out individually and mounted them on cardstock. Just something a little different.
I really like finishing the inside of my cards...so I used a Karen Lockhart stamp for the flower image on the bottom right! Pretty simple card really, but I seem to really like simplicity!


I hope you have a wonderful day....thank-you so much for visiting!

Beautiful card Christine! I'm loving that flower paper with the embossing underneath it! Beautiful colouring of the tulip basket and I love how you placed the wording! Beautifully finished on the inside too!
Hugs, Danielle

Oh, I know this card is for me because you missed me when I was on my cruise. You know that tulips are my favorite. I can't wait for you to pop by and deliver it. Thank you so much. LOL. It is absolutely stunning, and in such great colors. Love the inside.

Oh, I love your picnic basket, Christine. You colored it beautifully. Your whole card is just a delight. So glad you liked how my blog turned out. Thanks again for all your help. I don't think I saw your background on that site, but I sure do like it. So bright and happy!

Hi Christine. I have been playing happy families and trying to work and had some friends round to play and, as a result, I have neglected visiting my friends. This card is lovely. It is a different style from your usual creations and equally stunning! I love the simple, neat design, your colouring is gorgeous and the cut out letters add perfect interest! Hugs to you, Lesley
