Thank You Card, Life Is A Beach

This is a thank you card for one of my friends that made me a meal while I was recovering from my surgery.

This card went through SEVERAL attempts before I was ok with how it came out.  So, I have plenty of scrap cards LOL!  

The flower is cut from Life is a Beach per the challenge for CCCC.  I had to adapt the flower because the stamen sort of shoots out of it, and frankly without a layer option it looked bizarre and male anatomy like.  I know that is totally inappropriate but it was way too much for me to look at so I cut it off.   Sorry if all that offends you but hey you should have seen the card. :)  I made the colors in yellow, blue and white with the card/border option per the challenge at Cricut Cardz Challenge.

I cut the card, used colored pencils for the flowers, and "pearls" from the dollar items at A.C. Moore.  The stamp is part of a stamp I picked up out of a dollar bin somewhere.  The yellow card stock is some Bazzil Basics stuff with texture.

Another St. Patrick's Day card

I am feeling a bit better today.  I actually WANTED to do something today so I am counting that as an awesome sign.  My plan is even to go to work tomorrow!!!  Even better :)

Anyway, for today I thought I would make a St. Patrick's Day card and enter it into a few challenges.  I am actually pretty happy with how it came out!  No pain killers today and a cute card... this is going to be a FABULOUS Monday!

Thanks for checking out this project!  If you find it interesting take a peek at other things on my blog and give me some tips and love.  I have no fear in asking for that :)
