Soft and Sweet Friend

I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. It is hotter than heck here in CA. I was going to go to town and visit my Mom today but the forecast said it was going to be 112 in Clovis today and when I talked to her this morning, she said she just wanted to stay in and stay cool. Usually we go running around town shopping here and there. So today, I stayed in too! Heck, I didn't even get out of my jammies until noon!

I made the card above for an upcoming class. I knew I wanted to use the Memory Box striped paper as I had a bunch left from my Inchie class last month. So I paired it with some Worldwin Medium Belgium Blue and some Bazzill Lavender cardstock. The inks used were Smoke Blue and Heliotrope VersaColor. I used some Stardust Stickles on the dragonflies. Hero Arts Lavender bling and some Lavender May Arts ribbon added the finishing touches to the card. All of the stamps are from the Penny Black clear set called Salutations. I first saw this set when I did a make/take at the Penny Black booth at CHA in February and I knew I had to have it! This is a fun set of stamps with flowers, vases, several word stamps and lots of little filler stamps too!

I have completed a few other cards in the last couple of days and need to get pics and edit them so stay tuned.

Hugs to all,
