So Kind of You

Pin It

 The So Kind of You Card was another well liked card on Saturday at the Craft Day.

 I cased it from Sandi MacIver a demo in the states.

I changed the flower, which is from 'Blooming with Kindness' Stamp Set.

I also used 'Gorgeous Grunge' and 'Sweet Essentials' Stamp Sets.

The colour combo is Coastal Cabana, Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black and Whisper White.

The embossing folder is 'Beautifully Baroque'.

We have had a beautiful spring day here today (still is winter), I hope it stays like this for the weekend.

Enjoy your weekend.

 I liked this sketch straight away and knew what I would do.

I had been blog hopping and came across Mary Fish's blog and liked how she had used the Top Note Die so I have copied her idea. Go Check her blog she as lots of video tutorials a must look.
