I went into work today after having Wednesday and Thursday off and it was like a ghost town. With Wednesday being a holiday, a good chunk of people took Thursday and Friday off. I was silly not to take Friday off as well. The weekend is here again though so I can’t complain.
Here is a card I did last night (and it is not a Christmas card). I like to make cards that are “generic”. That way when I sell them, they can fit into almost any need. I used the Upsy Daisy set and the butterfly is from Dreams du Jour. I will be honest – when I first saw Stampin Up’s new “In Colours” I wasn’t impressed. All I could think was – a whole year of these colours – ugh! I am starting to warm to them. The card stock on this card is “Crushed Curry” and Basic Black. The image was stamped with So Saffron, then I added some of the Crushed Curry ink to the flowers to give it some umph. Of course I had to add a wee bit of glitter. It is a pretty basic card and fits my “generic” bill.
That is it for me for this evening. To all of my American friends, Happy Independence Day. It is all about “Family”, “Fun” and “Food”. Enjoy.

It maybe simple, but it’s so pretty! Love the way you added the extra color to the flowers.
This is so pretty! I love how you shaded the flowers. I also like the touch of the brad in the photo corner!
I love the dimension of the butterfly!
Elizabeth, this is so pretty. I love how you created dimension with the daisies through the use of color. Your shading is fabulous…and I know the glitter has to be great!
Upsy daisy is such a great stamp set – it really makes cards that fit for all occasions. Your card is really nice and I like the addition of the butterfly – gives it that something extra.
It may have been a good thing to not take today off. For one, you’d not have too many people around to bother you. Secondly, you’ll still have an extra vacation day that you can use any time. I personally prefer taking a day off in the middle of the week to break it up.
I hear you with the in-colors – I’m warming up to them little by little. I should get my order in the next two weeks, so hopefully I’m all set. Your card is lovely and has definitely helped me along the way 🙂
