July's SFYTT
I decided I had better get this SFYTT card done before July sneaks away on me. When in summer mode I don't pay that much attention to the calendar dates or even days of the week at times so best I do it now LOL!
The three circles brought to mind a group of three flowers so out came my Verve flower stamps and dies. Have I told you recently how much I love my Verve flowers and the coordinating leaf and flower dies are amazing!
I started off with this scrap piece of Costco DP I tripped across and decided to keep it on the black and white side with a pop of colour. Lucky for me this also qualifies for the Play Date Cafe challenge this week - score!
I'm pretty happy with this card and it came together quite quickly which is always a bonus for me :) Bonus: two posts this week!
Have a fabulous day and thanks for popping in for a visit.
What's In It?
Stamps: (Verve) Bloom and Grow
Paper: Costco DP, Pretty in Pink, Going Grey
Ink: Going Grey, Black
Accessories: (Verve) Elegant Leaves and Floral Circles Dies, Crimper, Twine, Button, Glue Dot, Half Pearls, Bling, Dimensionals
