Count Your Blessings
I received some goodies in the mail from Papertrey Ink and just had to try them out right away!! I have to say the paper is really nice! It's soft and smooth - very nice paper! The ribbons too are beautiful! The colors are wonderful too - Aqua Mist I would say is somewhere between Soft Sky and Cool Caribbean and Spring Moss is like Certainly Celery only with a bit more yellow, really great color!!
So I've had My Punny Valentine since it came out but hadn't inked it up yet. Here's my quick card with all the new goodies. I love the cute sheep image and wanted to try using my Nestabilities and a piece of cream felt - worked great!! I did back the felt with a scalloped ivory oval so that the brown strip behind it didn't show through. Another pretty simple design all in all but I love the look - the colors are great together!
The sentiment uses Year Round Puns. I love that sentiment, Count Your Blessing . . . . I need to remember everyday to be thankful for all the blessings God has given me and my family! I have so much to be thankful for!! What are you most thankful for?
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI adore that felt sheep - how very cute it that??!! I love this card, way cute! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
ReplyDeleteOh I love these new colors, they are just fabulous, I agree!!! How did you get the felt to run through the bug? Did you add a piece of cardstock before trying to cut it out? I tried once and it fell to pieces....didn't add the paper though. Great card, glad to see you finally inked up the sheep! xoxo
