I love this stamped in these colors! I stamped the flower in of all colors, Gray Granite, and the sentiment in Black Memento. For card base, I used Sahara Sand. The color matched well keeping this card neutral.

What do you think? Simply a pretty card.

I Love You This Much

Hello my friends!

I have a quick two-part share. The other part will be on Friday.

I was looking through my sketches to find something that caught my eye. Two did.

The first one is from Tuesday Morning Sketches –

I love this clean simpleness of this sketch.

I decided to play with beloved retiring products for this –

I started with fussy cutting the cute dinosaur already colored and ready to go from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. Yes, there are coordinating dies, but this is just as easy. There are two whole sheets dedicated to images to use with dies!

I then found just the right pattern of paper to go with the little cutie.

This sentiment says it all. I don’t know about you, but I’m rather tired of all this quarantine business and could use a break. I don’t always show my spouse the love and attention he deserves. Perhaps this card can demonstrate that for me. #keepingitreal

So. Stayed tuned to Friday. I found another sketch and made a coordinating card to this one. I didn’t have quite the time to get it ready to include with this post. I’ll have it ready for Friday.
