Woohoo, I'm back! I'm so happy to be showing you today's card. I'm also very happy because I'm getting some of my strength and mojo back. I will post at least one sweetpea project/week on my blog to fulfill my DT commitment, but I'm hoping to extend it to one sweetpea and one other as I have many stamps that haven't even seen ink yet. Poor things.
I'm also planning for a candy as my blogoversary is this month, I'm launching a new blog called crafter's guide and hopefully will put up a bunch of things in my etsy shop. Phew, so much to do...
Today's card is a distressed one - one of the things I'd like to be better at. I used spring spread from sheet 13 plate 42. The text is also a sweetpea stamp from sheet 7 plate 29.
All of the papers are from Basic Grey, but I'm not sure about the name of the lines. One of them in blush, but the background with small flowers and the beige one are from one line I can't remember the name of.
I used a LOT of challenges for this one and I had so much fun. I think this is my record. Here's the list:
ABC - charms

By the cute and girly - indian summer
Crafty Emma's store - floral frenzy
