Just For You

I love this card! It's a card that I CASE'd from my manager, Angie Leach. You can find the original idea for this card, here. One of the differences between Angie's card and mine is that for her card she used the 31/2" scallop circle and 3" circle Big Shot dies. I don't own either of those dies yet so I improvised and used my Cricut. You can definitely tell that the scalloped circles are very different. I prefer the tighter scallops using the Big Shot die on Angie's cards.

I love the original colors that Angie used but the friend I made this card for loves the color blue and I wanted to make it for her with colors that she loves. She's been in the hospital so when I visited her yesterday I wanted to cheer her up and give her a reminder of how much I care about her.

I originally wanted to put purple with the "Night of Navy" blue but I couldn't find a shade of purple that we carry that I liked with it so I happily went with this very sunny "Daffodil Delight". The stamp set that I used is called "Flower Fest" from our Summer Mini and is available only through the end of August. Get yours while you still can!
