Happy Wednesday, everyone and hopefully you are having a magnificent week!! I know my week is going exceptionally well--Thursday I have my pre-chemo lab conference and then Monday is my Third Chemo session...so please keep your fingers crossed!! I have everything crossed because I have been so fortunate and so lucky as far as the events of those sessions is concerned!! Thank you all so much for your continuing thoughts about my sessions!!
Today is the Flower Soft Blog Hop and I am thrilled to be a part of it. If you have arrived here first, I would like to ask that you start at the Flower Soft Blog.
For my card I have used the absolutely darling Best Friends stamp from the Moments In Time Collection. The base is Bazzill, the matting is PTI Hibiscus Burst and Spring Moss, and the DP is from the Rose Garden Collection by Papermania in the UK which I have machine stitched. The scene is framed with the Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame which I have edged with cream pearls. The stamp, on Cryogen White, was colored with Copics and I have added a touch of Viva Cream Pearls to the top of the cake, Glossy Accents to the china, Sand and Toffee Ultra Fine Flower Soft to the bear, and a mixture of Pale Green and Shamrock Green Flower Soft for the grass surrounding the blankie. I added a couple of pink flower buttons and a Tea Party button to set the stage. I then added a horizontal of PTI Hibiscus Burst satin ribbon and bow with a brass tea cup charm and finally larger pearls to soften the corners. I hope you like my little creation and will visit the fabulous creations of my other Flower Soft Design Team sisters to see the magnificent Flower Soft creations they have made:
Deb--Jeanne--Jen--Linda--Rose Ann--Vicki
As I promised, in addition to the candy that is available from the Blog Hop, I would also like to offer you my very own special Flower Soft SWEET STUFF for your always visiting me and for leaving such sweet and kind comments:
1 Moments In Time Best Friends stamp (the same one I used on my card)
1 jar of Pale Green Flower Soft
1 jar of Shamrock Green Flower Soft
4 green Gardenias
2 bunches of pink and hot pink mulberry/tulle flowers
1 Flower Soft glue
AND maybe a few surprises!!
I am asking that in your comment here, you let me know that you are a Follower of the Flower Soft blog and that you will inform your followers about my SWEET STUFF and the candy available on the Flower Soft blog. Thank YOU!! Please leave your comments before Sunday, April 11, at midnight DST.
Your next stop on the Blog Hop will be to the most impressive blog of Rose Ann who is such a very talented artist and who I know will have a thriller of a Flower Soft card for you to behold!!! Be sure to leave her some of your hugs!!
My sincere thanks to each of you for always visiting me and leaving me such sweet and kind comments. I hope your week is a most enjoyable one and hope you will visit me often....remember we have a celebration soon!!!! Lots of great big hugs for you!!
