A Beautiful Hello - Hand Made Card + Crafting Tool Must haves…
A gorgeous card created in hopes of squeezing in a tiny bit of summer still…
Despite the chill in the air ( as I shiver while typing this), the leaves that have started to change color, and smell of wood stove smoke in the air …I am refusing to let go of summer just yet.
In keeping with that theory, I feel like summer has flown by just to quickly ( as always ) yet there are still so many card creations in my head containing thoughts of rainy days, gardening, beach fun and beautiful floral blooms like this card - inspired by a walk down a dusty old dirt road with daisies trailing along both sides, caught in the spotlight of a gorgeous warm summer evening.
This beautiful card features an ink blended background, splatter, a die cut sentiment, and a beautiful stamped floral image from PolkaDoodles Daisy Butterfly Wings photopolymer stamp set. This stamp set also has coordinating dies Daisy Butterfly Wings Dies, as well as a stencil set Daisy Butterfly Wings Color Create Stencil. If you love the whole bundle like I did - here is the link for a special bundle price Daisy Butterfly Wings Bundle.
So recently I have been creating with a lot of digital images when creating cards with so many reasons that I won’t start listing at this moment ( I’m sure you have heard them already ) - I still love to create with all of the physical products. Many of the digital images I use come from PolkaDoodles, however they aren’t just about digital images!!
They have a wide selection of beautiful physical products as well including stamps, dies, pattern paper, and fabulous crafting tools!!
