Rise and Shine

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I prepare for a class, I always seem to end up with a pile of pieces that

I tried and realized they weren't going to work out for one reason or another.

I'm trying to get some of those pieces on a card because my UFO box is

way too full.  The embossed piece and sunflower were in that pile and they just

happened to fit together very well.

When I saw this card by my friend Michele (I Card Everyone), I didn't waste

any time getting the embossing folder into my basket!

After embossing, I colored the centers.  I started out using a sponge dauber but

switched to a cotton swab when I saw that I was coloring more than I wanted.

The sunflower was cut from a page on last month's calendar.

The little bee was hanging out in the butterfly box.  He's been stamped, smacked 

with VersaMark and clear embossed before being fussy cut.
