Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Saturday! Today I have a quick share featuring some dimensional Gerber Daisies and a highly textured card made with 2 lovely young women in mind.
My nieces are celebrating milestones this week. My older niece graduated college with a degree in Respiratory Therapy. The younger one graduated High School and will soon be in Atlanta Georgia studying Design. I'm so proud of them, they have the world by the Tail!
I've created this card with them in mind, because they both radiate awesomeness. One is studious and the other is adventurous. They are both hard workers with the sweetest personalities, obedient, caring and helpful. Oh what it would be like to be their age again...would you change anything?
The flowers are from Spellbinders and I've colored them with Distress Oxide and Catherine Pooler Inks, the background is smooshed with Salty Ocean Distress Ink. The Pink and Orange flowers are popped on craft foam for dimension, the sentiment is a premade strip from Simon Says Stamp, I've splattered everything with white acrylic paint and added some confetti sequins for that extra WOW factor. I also tucked in an Altenew Crosshatch die cut but it's hard to see.
McKenna and Madison - Congratulations on your achievements! The world is your Oyster! Remember to love and protect yourselves, enjoy life and Make Your Mark! We love you!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
