They say 'blog postings are going away' or they are a thing of the past. But are they? I've been blogging now for over eight years and things seem about the same as they were when I started. The technology seems to be working against us sometimes as it is harder to get the blog postings to the followers. But so many blogs have great information, wonderful ideas and fantastic freebies!
I've found that Beccy's Place is one blog posting I enjoy following. Around the first of each month she has a monthly challenge and a free image as well. She also has a wonderful library of tutorials for tons of fun folds and designer cards.
Today's card is her January freebie. Aren't these Crocus beautifully drawn!
To make this card, I sized the flowers to just under 4" and printed on 110# Neenah card stock. I used Copic markers for the coloring and then used the Tattered Lace Lacy Days Square die for the edging. After covering the 5 x 7 card base with a lavender paper, I secured the completed flowers about 1/2" from the top of the background paper.
Separately, I stamped the sentiment with Versa Clair black ink and used the Penny Black Elegant Stitching Rectangle die. I added fun foam to the back before securing the sentiment in the bottom right corner of the card front, overlapping the flowers slightly.
No bow for this one - I didn't want to take away from the flowers.
