I got a little distracted this morning! Haha!
I have a huge agenda of card designs I need to work on for my A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA classes (info here). But, alas, I was distracted by a friend I would do ANYTHING for!
Turns out, my friend will be a guest of a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary at the Marconi Center in Tomales Bay, along California's northern coast (gorgeous site!!! Here's a link to the location photo gallery. I'm so jealous). Now, this is my friend who used to be an aide assigned to students in my classroom (and she inspired me every day - she is so amazing with special needs students and her botany knowledge is astonishing - I was so sad she moved away a year ago). She wakes up at the break of dawn most mornings to take hikes in the habitats around her home and shares fun pictures of the wildflowers with me. I miss her!!!
Anyhoo... I got a message from her this morning asking if I had a thank you card she could use to give to the hosts celebrating their anniversary. After spending some time drooling over the the place she will be going, I came up with this design:
Ok, seriously, I LOVE how this turned out!!! Amazing how I can struggle with other cards for days and days and this one pops out in only a couple minutes.I'm so happy with it :)
Oh, good stuff! Hopefully my fellow nature-loving friend will think so too!
Card Recipe: Stamps: dill, solid bird (retired), and thank you rm by A Muse. Paper: woodgrain and sage green by A Muse. Wood paper purchased at Impress ink: Versafine vintage sepia Other: twine
So so so fabulous! I'm useless with woodgrain but you've done an amazing job with it! Love it!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog!
I love the style of your work, and this card is fabulous. I think that woodgrain stamp just jumped up a few spaces on my wish list. Thank goodness the stamp store here carries them!

This is a cute card! And, having been to the Marconi Center, I can tell you that it'll match the style of the area perfectly! Great job!
