happy happy joy joy

Thanks so much to everyone for your sweet comments on yesterday's post.  I want to assure you all that I'm not going anywhere.  I love stamping and card making and am not leaving all my design teams.  I'm just cutting back a bit.  I have some fun things that I've been working on and the personal stuff is good stuff, happy stuff, so no worries about that.  Hugs!!

Oh, I forgot yesterday when I posted my card to include the photo of the copic markers I used.  I know many people find that useful.  Sorry, I am terrible about remembering to take a photo before I move on to the next image.  Anyway, I added the photo to yesterday's post if you were curious about what copic markers I used.  Good luck to everyone in the blog candy draw (ends tomorrow morning)!


I created this CAS (clean and simple) card when Blooming Button Bits was released.  I just love all of these button sets that Nichole is coming up with!  What a great way to use one of my favorite embellishments!

I stamped the leaves from Turning a New Leaf on my rustic cream card base using new leaf ink.  Then, I inked the edges with the tea dye duo inks and stamped my sentiment by the leaves.  I stamped the flower on white cardstock using hibiscus burst ink and cut it out.  I added a spring rain button and adhered the flower to my card using foam adhesive for extra dimension.

Have a great day!

Niki

Love your CAS card, Nicky! Like Liz (above), I think the new button bits set is very, very likely in my shopping cart for the next order :) Happy New Year!

Such a pretty card. A card without sewing? I love how easy it is to make quick, but elegant cards with the leaf set. Buttons are my downfall. I have to have every one I see. Happy Monday.
