The Best THINGS in LIFE...CR84FN59#2 45

Hi there! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! I'm here today to share a card I made using the pretty CR84FN59 color combination. You still have a few days, so I hope you join along in the fun! I would like to take a moment to thank our July Guest Designer, Monika Davis for sharing her wonderful creativity with us over the last month!

To create this card mixed media kind of card, I first started by stenciling the background with some Gesso then added pretty patterned paper from Webster's Pages. I stamped a sentiment from the Die-namics Vertical Greetings 11 Die & Stamp Set on a label that was cut using the coordinating die that is included along with the stamp set.

I stitched the layers together then added a flower that was made using the beautiful Die-namics Upsy Daisy die and tucked under a few leaves that were made using Die-namics Royal Leaves:

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Camp sketch challenge:

Thanks so much for visiting! Please be sure to visit the CR84FN site for complete information and the entire CR84FN DT for some amazing inspiration: Sue Lelli, Shannon White and Deborah Frings.
Be Sweet :)
