Life is Good

I guess the title says it all.  This is my final week as Guest Designer at CR84FN. To borrow a line from a song "I've had the time of my life"...  Life is definitely good. Take a moment and think about all the good in your life.

While your thinking, I'd like to thank the gals at CR84FN. Thank you, Mona for giving me this opportunity and to the fabulous Design Team I want to thank you for the warm welcome and for making me feel right at home. You gals are the "cream of the crop"!

We are playing with these wonderful colors......Orange, Yellow and Brown. Grab some papers and play along I can't wait to see what you create.

As I look out my window the leaves on the trees are turning the most beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow.  There is no way I can compete with Mother Nature but this is my attempt to recreate some of her beautiful colors with a window card.

The floral stamps, sentiment and dies are from Heartfelt Creations "Posey Patch Collection". The oval is a Nestability. To create the background, I used Vintage Photo with the Hampton Arts Script stamp and also sponged it around the edges of the white CS. Copic markers were used to color the flowers, the pearls and the Flowersoft. Acetate was placed between the card front layers. I swirled (direct to paper) some yellow and orange dye inks on a piece of vellum, heat set it and cut the butterfly with a C.C. Designs die. The flowers were raised with foam mounting tape and to give added dimension a double layer of tape was used under a few of the flowers. You can see this layering in the photo below.
