Hi there dear blog friends, I finally got my new glasses, so now I can see again LOL!! First, I wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful emails/comments with regard to our trials and tribulations the last few months, but hopefully that's all behind us, and things around here can get back to normal. {{{{Big cyber hugs to you all}}}}
About today's project, I actually painted this image a couple of months ago on watercolor paper using the new water-based, twin-tip Aqua Markers from Flourishes. I LOVE them… the bad thing, when coloring this image I didn’t write down the colors I used but, I will be using them a lot in the future, and won’t forget that step again. After the image was finished, and dry, I cut/embossed using Spellbinders new Resplendent Rectangles (such a pretty die), and used foam tape between each layer, then attached them to the Grand Rectangles for my card base. Stamp your sentiment using the Ever After Antique Labels by JustRite on one of the Back to Basic Tags die, and attach your ribbon and bow.
Well, that's it for me today, I will be back as soon as I can. Remember you can click on the picture to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below with links, and be sure to visit Spellbinders Blog for more inspiration.
Thanks for visiting today. Linda ❤❤

Happy to see you back in action. I almost fell off my chair as I gasped when I saw your beautiful card. It's a knock out. Gorgeous rose, perfectly coloured and in a lovely frame. I have many favourites of your cards and this has joined them.
