Best Wishes - Lovely Flowers meets Everything Nice

Hi Everyone.

Happy Thursday night.  Quick post tonight.

This card uses the fabulous rub-on flowers from the Lovely Flowers Bundle Set.  The clean and simple challenge at splitcoaststampers called for a square card.  I rarely do square cards and decided to do a smaller one today - 4.25" x 4.25" and I love this size. 

I'm really hooked on Melon Mambo right now... is it because it is about to retire?  I absolutely loved the Peony rub-on and was compelled to use it on a pretty, yet strong color.  So... Melon Mambo it was.

I think the white rub-on against the Melon Mambo looks gorgeous.  Of course, I had to bring out the Short and Sweet set - I just love this sentiment set.

Where's the Everything Nice, I can hear you say.... ah... well... let's take a look on the inside!

I used another rub-on for the lower left corner and then stamped the sentiment in white craft ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder.  I think it needed that because of the textured card stock.

The Everything Nice set was one of the ones I got free with my SAB order.

Today has been another very long day. Another 3000 of our colleagues were laid-off today.  I know that some of you will have been in that position, or close to people who have, so it's been a pretty tough few days emotionally.  Consequently, I finished very late and this will be a very short post.

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday... me... I'm thrilled that it is the weekend coming up!  I might actually even get to spend some time in my stamping space!

Before I go.. thank you to all of you who left such wonderful comments for Linda.  Her card was beautiful and I knew you would enjoy it.

hugs

Simple and elegant!!! That's how it looks to me. The colors are stunning too. I am so inspired. Thank you. Guess what I found last evening upon returning from work? A goody package waiting for me from you. THANK YOU!!!! I can't wait to play with it. Also, Linda's card, it's to die for. I love the tiny roses. They bring out the butterfly image even more. You're so generous to provide the butterfly to Linda. Hugs to you.

Really a lovely card. The rub-on peony is really pretty. I love the way SU has items that all match.

I went back to yesterday as I had not posted about Linda's card which is sooo beautiful.

Thanks for sharing and brightening my day.

Oh WOW! Jaydee, your card looks like a work of art that I would love to hang on my wall. Couldn't you just see a series of these framed and grouped together.
I hope you have a better day today. Enjoy the sun and warmer temps.
PS-looking forward to celbrating your b-day--did hear Rock Climbing??!!

Those colors are striking together and make for a very clean looking card. I am glad that you finished off the inside, it looks fantastic. So many Cardmakers just leave the insides blank and I think that it looks like an unfinished card. All it takes is a little sentiment or a tiny stamp to make it look like you took the time to notice that the card has an inside. The big, bold look of the white flower image against the Melon Mambo, looks great, and really stands out. Another winning card from a first class Cardmaker. Have a wonderful Friday! I imagine that the weekend will do you some good to rest and get away from the daily stress of work. It can't be very good to go in and see people that you getting the boot every other day. You need some solitude of your stamping space and the joy and comfort that stamping bring to you. Do try to get in there if even for a little while, it will refresh you.
