It's been a while since I have posted. Had a family emergency and trip to Indiana. FIL out of hospital now and in rehab, things are better. We even had the experience of the tornado sirens {when you have to seek shelter immediately as a tornado has been spotted} as we were driving, along with the creepiest black skies!! Yes, we were driving and the whole time I was looking out the windows... guess I wanted to see it before we were hit... not that it would help or anything. Two small tornados touched down on the outskirts of town- one on the north side and one on the west side {nothing like the one in Joplin, definitely lucky, although it happened around the same time}. Went into the grocery store with sunny skies and the "storm" off on the horizon and walked out 20 minutes later to.... a whole different story!!
Anywho, just got back and did manage to make a card for the
Waltzingmouse sketch challenge this week. The sketch is from Edna and has lots of circles.
The sketch....
My card....
Cut out circles with an Xacto knife leaving raw edges for distressing and distressed the outer edge. Flourish and sentiment with outline are from
WMS Fancy Phrases {love this set} along with quite a few others!! Bo Bunny Gabrielle paper, crinkled ribbon from MemrieMare on Etsy, flower from Wild Orchid krafts, and used foam dots and red sticky dots {buy these from Jody Morrow- texasjodylynn on SCS}. WMS celebrated 2 years this past weekend...BRAVO!!
TFL!! If you stop by, leave a comment, appreciate all the kind words!!
