Booyah!

The weather here the last few days has been picture-perfect for summer and I really wanted to leave all my responsibilities behind and just crash on a beach or on my patio to soak up the sun.  But alas reality reared its ugly head and I found myself at work last week and doing some housework this weekend.  But never fear I did manage to spend some quality time with my chaise lounge this weekend and even got a little crafty.

I made this card using the very-bright colors at Color Throwdown. Such an eclectic combination and not one that I was sure I could combine successfully but I trudged on.  Once I broke it down to green (leaves), yellow (flowers) and purple (the wild card here with a button) I was ok.  The background circle is a stencil that I did with some embossing paste.  The layout is from Cardabilities.

The sentiment may seem a bit odd with these floral images, but this card is destined for someone special who will appreciate it.  I made it using my vintage Dymo labler (don't know how I lived without that thing for so long)!  Booyah!

Thanks for stopping by!
