Happy Easter! I schedule my blog posts so far in advance that I almost forget about the holiday's in between ... but I remembered this time! Today we're spending time with family -- Paul's cousin and family are driving in from Edmonton to attend worship with us in the morning and then staying for the afternoon. I have to play piano this morning at church along with a bunch of musicians as well. I'm looking forward to it!
Anywho ... here's a card filled with lots of white space, something I'm generally not comfortable with! But, I love how this one ended up. I tried the flower that seems to be everywhere right now -- punch 4 flowers with the Fancy Flower punch and one flower from the Flower Fusion Sizzlit; crumple them up and then uncrumple; join them with a brad in the centre; crumple them up in a pleasing way. I combined two challenges with this one as well -- Taylor's sketch (turned) and a new challenge called Colour Cue.
Thanks for poppin' in my blog today! Let me know what you think of the white space?!

LOVE this card, the white space is great, and of course the flower is lovely. How did you make the rickrack? Is it just the scallop edge punch alternated??? Please share--dtollaksen at wideopenwest dot com
Very nice and I love the white space and how you raised that whole panel. And the flower is fabulous :)
The white space totally MAKES this card! I am swooning over all of the gorgeous buttons. Absolutely Stunning!

Love all that white - you are very brave (I am such a chicken) and it works so well. Love your buttons down the side!

Amazing. Lots of white space... but still a very colorful card. Great idea.
Oh my goodness!!! Your buttons are layered! That's a brilliant idea and they make such a sweet border.
