Hello card made using the Serenade cartridge.

Hello, friends!

Well as I write this I am in my son's closet waiting out a bad storm. You see even storms don't stop this dedicated blogger ;-) On a serious note, I have been through a few tornadoes and nothing is scarier. My heart goes out to all of those who have been affected by the recent onslaught on tornadoes here in the south!

Today's card is made using an oldie, but goodie. In fact, this cartridge was a favorite for the longest time. There is just something about the trees and branches on this cartridge that I really like. Serenade was beautifully designed and has tons of possibilities!

The paper I used is from Papertrey Ink.
I cut this beautiful flower out at 2".
I also cut out a few extras in white to add texture to my card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I will see you all back here tomorrow bright and early ;-)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

    I love seeing your cards and the new ideas. I never thought of cutting out flowers the same color as the background and using them for texture. It's an idea that I am sure to use in the future! Thanks for sharing.

    Bee-utiful. Especially like the white flowers that when I first looked thought they were embossed on the card. Forecast is for rain & storm to be over for next couple days & bee-utiful sunny skies.

    Really like your color combo. Purple is one of my favorite colors and I like how the colors just go together so well with the black making the purple stand out more.

    Hope you made it thru the storms ok last night. Lots of rain, wind but no hail here. The sirens going off did concern me but we were lucky enough to be out of the worst of it. My heart goes out to those who have been so affected in the last few weeks. I say prayers for them and prayers of thanks for how fortunate I truly am.

    Great card! This is so pretty! I feel your pain concerning the thunderstorms. I live in DFW area also, and that storm was crazy! Scary! My heart also goes out to all the people effected by the recent tornadoes!

    The white flowers are so pretty,really set off by the black & white border. The complete card is so lovely I'm going to add it to my list of special designs to help me do one similar to it later.
    Add my name to the list for the Boxes give-away.

    When I first looked at your card I though the background was embossed. What a neat surprise to see it was the same flower cut in white. Great idea to connect the card background to the other cuts used on the card.
