Kind words

 
Wahoo!  It's the weekend!  We have our niece's college graduation day activities to attend later today but right now?  I'm going to garage sales!  This is something that I LOVE LOVE to do!  I stopped at my first one of the season the other day with my neighbor and now I've got the bug! 
 
There is something serene about the colors yellow and grey together.  It's one of my favorite color combos but one I don't use very much I guess because I've never made something that I actually liked until today........
 
Check out my card.......it's got lots of Verve goodies on it!  I just love how this turned out!  I used a sentiment from Kind Words, a bloom from Lean on Me die cut with the Pointed Flowers Dies by Verve, leaves from Dream Big, die cut leaves using Dreamy Leaves Dies by Verve.  I also threw in a little textured background which made all the difference in the world!  My flower was colored T1 and T4 and the center layered with an epoxy circle to give it some dimension.
 
Kind words
 
 That's it for today but I hope to sneak in some more crafty time this weekend as there are some challenges I would like to play with!  Have a wonderful day!
