Hey y'all! Happy to see you!
We have had a little swarm of bees outside our back door...it's supposedly peak season from February/March til May here, but because of our year-round warm climate it can happen pretty much any time here in Florida.
I had so much fun sitting up in my studio playing with papers and inks to make this card. What can I say? Mardi Gras colors 💜💚💛 make me happy and this particular designer print is like Mardi Gras colors and more! It was early morning so I sat there with my second cup of coffee just enjoying the moment.
These prints (with the exception of the green background print from Craft Consortium) are all from our very own Stamp Simply Coffee or Tea paper pad. So many fun designs! I love them all and it made me happy to use several on this one card!
Here's a peek at the inside. Makes me think of sitting at the family table topped with a plaid "fleece-backed vinyl" table cloth, a lacy doily and fresh flowers adorning the center. (In reality there is indeed a fleece-backed vinyl tablecloth, just not purple plaid, and the doily is not Battenberg but crocheted lace and HUGE, made by Patrick's cousin Connie's husband Mel).
