Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all you Canadian bloggers out there :) We have
soooo much to be thankful, amidst the struggles and trials of the past
year, and that in itself is worth celebrating, just as the pioneers did
many years ago! I'm looking forward to a relaxing long weekend as we only have a small group for dinner on Sunday. Hubby is cooking a turkey, I'm sues chef and clean up girl and mom is making her delicious cherry pie and cranberry sauce. It's been an extremely hectic and stressful September, so this will be a wonderful long weekend to just kick back, get some R and R, and enjoy some quality family time :)
Now on to the card! I loooove pink and brown together so this was a great colour combo for me to work with, unlike the last one we had...cough, cough...LOL!
I combined it with a SCS sketch challenge from about a month ago, and since I don't have any Rich Razzleberry (go figure!) I used Rose Red instead. My PTI flower dies were calling my name once again. In addition, my polka dot obsession rose to the surface while making this card so out came this wonderful Seeing Spots embossing folder. The end result - this card :)
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!

ReplyDeleteRose Red is just perfect, Marisa. I am kind of a 'dot' nut, too. May not use them a lot but love them just the same.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
And just like I don't mind seeing your maple leaves pop up, I also don't mind seeing your lovely flowers (and butterflies, too for that matter!) You certainly have a way with flowers, they are always so complimentary to your cards! This one is no exception...they look simply beautiful against the white background.
ReplyDeleteOooooooh....love it! Those flowers are sensational and the seeing spots if fabulous. I love the ribbonry and those fabulous leaves. Gorgeous with all that white!
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers!
