Hi

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!

How are you all?!  It's been so long.  School has played a huge role in my not crafting as often lately.  I'm really hoping I can post some more soon since I only have 2 weeks left of school :)

I wanted to share a card I had put together.  It's been forever since I colored so you can tell it's been awhile but I really like how this clean and simple card turned out....

Recipe:

Papers are from my stash and My Mind's Eye

Jaded Blossom-the sweet girl is from Sweet Birthday Wishes, the letters are from Alphabet Candies and the flag and candy charms are from Candy Charms & Banners

Wavy card from SVG Cutting Files

Copic Sketch Markers

Atyou Spica in Buttermilk

Stampin Up Classic Ink in Early Espresso

White Gel Pen

VersaFine in Onyx Black

Thanks so much for visiting!

Have a fabulous crafty day!
