just saying hello

It's raining. More like pouring! And I love it. There's nothing better than having a lot of work to do in weather like this. I focus more and I get more done. Soup is simmering on the stove and I worked on this card and a myriad of other things.

The card is based on a sketch given in the first assignment of the Clean & Simple class I started today. I used a lattice that I designed this weekend (coming to the shop soon), an All Occasion Messages stamp set from Hero Arts and an old EK Success flower punch (similar to this, but smaller). I'm thinking the flowers are overpowering the sentiment a bit—ah well.

Although I have a lot of work on my plate, it's so nice to have a side project (another one!) going on at the same time. I don't usually make cards so this is my way to exercise those muscles a bit.

So, far a good Monday!
