This is another one of the Inkspiration cards I had worked ahead on before the challenge was shut down so I thought I would share it with you. Just love this colour combo and will definitely be using it again.I am thrilled to say, skewed panels don't throw me into a tail spin the same way they used to - yeah!! Guess practice does make perfect. Or in my case, brings a much higher comfort level :)
It was a nice cheery card to post today as self imposed pick me up after our car was hit yesterday as we were turning into our driveway!! The guy behind us didn't like our slowing down, and missed the signal light so he decided to pass us on the left side just as we were turning into our driveway. Not a nice way to end a wonderful evening of volunteering to prep, serve and clean up at a community dinner that feeds 175 people! Thankfully there were no injuries other than the cars and a bit of the front lawn. The front left panel of our car and the front bumper are not a pretty sight right now as the bumper got ripped off the frame about a third of the way across. Hoping the damage is just the superficial stuff we can see and nothing more as it was more of a side swipe than a direct hit. Guess we'll find out soon enough...
This wonderful PTI flower die creates the best flowers :) I don't think I'll ever tire of using it as they are so easy to use and fun to layer. The leaves were made from PTI's Leaf Print dies (still sneaking in ways to use them even though Fall is long over lol). A fun breath of colour, flowers and thoughts of spring always make me happy :)
Still working for hubby so posts are going to still be a bit sporadic...will do my best to get back sooner than later. Have a fabulous day and thanks for popping by!
