Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, and Basic Gray

Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, and Basic Gray are the colors in this card. I used watercolor paper and a spray of water to get a softer image for the bunch of flowers. I love the little "for you" stamp that I discovered in a stamp set with sayings. I've never used it until today when I used Basic Gray to stamp the sentiment. I added piercing at the corners of the image, but they don't show up in this photograph. The picture doesn't do the card justice. I suppose I need some photography lessons.

this is fabulous. I really love the flowers from the Close as a Memory set - they always look beautiful. I have never used them in this color combination and they really are spectacular. Great layout, too.

BTW... I loved reading the story of your childhood. I too grew up in that era where we made up our own games, spent almost all day out of doors and the world was their for exploring. thank you for the trip down memory lane

Thanks for joining the Paper Players this week.
Hugs
