Celebrate You

Hello -

Lately it seems that I only get to crafty stuff on the weekends...and I am retired.  Tonight I am playing along with Cupcake Inspirations, CAS Watercolor, The Flower Challenge and Color Throwdown.



This stamp is Altenew's Book Club. It's is meant for creating bookplates. I think the two small bouquets make for a wonderful embellishment around the sentiment space. 

I stamped everything with versamark, added silver embossing powder to my bristol paper panel. Light gray and pink were added to the flowers and leaves with Arteza brush pens. I blended out with a water brush.  I die cut the panel with a NND die and adhered it to a pink cardbase.

   
  

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Ohhhh, so pretty! Not just for bookplates, as you've clearly shown. You made a gorgeous card with it and I love the circle sentiment space. It seems more difficult to manage crafty time in my retired life than than it was in my working life. Maybe because my time is less structured. Then I have to remind myself how fabulous it is to be retired!
