Wishing You Well…

When I started to make this card, I did not have a clue what it was going to look like in the end. I knew that I wanted to use one of the CHF backgrounders {Geometric Flowers II} and I also wanted to used Bayou Blue and Soft Sky. I got to playing around and kept adjusting this and changing that and this is what I came up with. The base of the card is Bayou Blue and is layered with Whisper White and Soft Sky. I have said before that I sometimes would much rather make DP with backgrounds than have to dig through a stack of real DP to find a perfect match. This time was no different. I made my own {very matchy-matchy} DP by layering the CHF background in Bayou Blue with the SU! Twill background in Soft Sky. The main image is from SU!’s Garden Silhouettes and is stamped several times to give a faded look. Finally, the sentiment is from PaperTrey. I’ve got lots to do today, including my TCP challenge card for tomorrow.
I am making this short and sweet as I have lots of fun stuff to do for the week. You especially won’t want to miss Friday’s ABC!! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!
I really love this card, Jen! Another one of your wonderful designs. I hope to CASE it vert soon! Thanks so much for the inspiration. Linda
This is such a beautiful card. Love the image and colors. I made one of your little “pizza” boxes yesterday - too cute and so fun to do. A pic of it is on my blog today. Thanks for inspiration.
This is gorgeous!! Love the color combo and layout…..
This is beautiful Jen - and boy, do I feel your pain about the building of your patio!! We just finished having our house built, and are now doing all the outside work….ughhh!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
This is just gorgeous. I love the effect you got layering the bg stamps - too cool! I’ve seen a couple of cards today with that twill bg stamp - oh boy, another thing to add to the wish list! ~chris
Beautiful! Love the matchy-matchy, especially in these colors!
That BG is so pretty. I love soft sky and blue bayou together and it looks so crisp with the white. GREAT card…
Great card! I have that fabulous set and am ashamed to say I haven’t used it much at all. Now you’ve inspired me. I need to get off the computer and go stamp - even if only for a minute or two. Thanks for the boost I need!
I’m lovin’ your homemade DP!! Awesome!
Wow, Jen this is so pretty! Wish I could make great backgrounds like that…it’s wonderful!
Okay that settles it, I need that backgrounder!!! This is fabulous!!! So gorgeous and elegant!! Thanks for sharing!!
I just love this card! Love the colors.
What sentational colours in this card. Just so elegant and georgous!
This would cheer up anyones day!
Don’t you love it when you start a card and you’re not real sure what you’re going to do with it and then it sort of evolves and you end up really liking the end result? I love this card….you did a beautiful job on it
Wow, this is such a beautiful card
Great card, Jen! Love the DIY matchy-matchy dp.
I thought I could get away with just having Linen, but now I’m pretty sure I NEED Twill, too.
