Today was a beautiful day. Besides the weather being gorgeous, I got to play in my craft room most of the day! Ok, my house really needs to be cleaned, but I got two loads of laundry done and created 4 cards for challenges -- yep, it's all about priorities :) So, like I said, today was a beautiful day!
It only seemed appropriate to ink up this stamp set and matching dies that I've been wanting to play with from Altenew: Beautiful Day. These flowers just seem to come to life as each stamp is used to add dimension and depth -- I could make them all day! Thanks to my trusty MISTI, I got the stamps lined up pretty well (LOVE this tool!) The background is an embossing folder from Anna Griffin.
Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
