Yellow and Blue Together

 Hi Friends,

This next card is the one I sent to Pat in Texas for the September 2025 Card Chain Challenge. I chose the friendship option for my Spring looking card. Not really ready for Fall quite yet. Are you?

Theme Options: Flamingos / Fish / Friendship this time.

The card was made with the SU Cheerful Daisies stamp and die set. Used Boho Blue, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green blend pens.  

After stamping to make the background, more flowers were done on a small rectangle and strategically placed on top. A strip of ribbon to match was added. 

As I write this, I've forgotten which friend stamp was used. Senior moments...

Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. Still really warm and sunny here in MN. I am ready for cooler weather, but not winter yet. :-)


Cyber hugs to my readers.



Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.

Sunflower Hello

 Happy Fall!

I received a lovely package of die cuts from Cheryl W. at Paper Panacea after admiring one of her cards. Thanks so much, Cheryl. My card today is a CASEing of her card.

What do you think? I like it and will probably send it off to CA when I get my friend's new address.

To the pale orange die cut I added some darker orange with a colored pencil by Crayola. Not sure why I haven't used my pencils before. But it is fun. Anyway, next I colored the center of the flower with a brown pencil. In real life the flower is really pale orange unlike my picture seems to show. Honest! 

For my background I found an interesting green paper by SU, a DSP called Splendid Autumn from 2024. Like Cheryl, I propped up some of the petals with glue dots beofre gluing the whole flower down. It was difficult doing the stem and leaves I tell you. My card base is my usual basic white from PTI.

To finish up I used a simple greeting from a vintage Gina K set called Vertical Greetings that has had lots of use lately. 

Come to find out, The Color Hues Challenge #117 is asking for orange and green, so am entering my card there before it closes.  First time visiting this challenge. 


Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. Hugs from Minnesota where Fall is so pretty.
