Happy New Year, sweet friends! It's been a while, but I've been busy with the holidays and just giving myself a much-needed break (and trying to reorganize a bit). But I got the boost I needed with the latest Power Poppy remixed digital image. I didn't know that the Lenten Rose (also called Christmas Rose) is known as Hellebores (I wonder how many of you knew that? I imagine some do.). After seeing all the different hues of Hellebores, I was inspired by some of the Pink and Red Lady varieties. I found some designer paper and went to work and came up with this layout - not the most original, but I hope it works.
I used my beloved MISTI to stamp a sentiment from a clear set that fit perfectly. I ended up paper piercing both layers of DP and colored the edges with Copic markers. I lightly sponged some Tea Dye ink while in Labels 11 that I hope you can see. And then I decided to add some lace with seam binding on top and popped the focal image. It was so enjoyable to finally make a card again, and I hope you like it. I hope to start posting again more often and participating in a challenge soon.
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a great week! Stop by my blog for more details. Hugs!

Cheryl...what a Delight this card is! So refreshing! The flowers look freshly picked and popped into water ready to brighten the day of all who are blessed to be able to view them. So glad you're back. It's always nice when one can step back, take a rest and regroup. It's obvious to see you haven't lost any of your pizzazz. Beautiful card!!!
