Simply Bloom & Moving

Hey friends!
I'm currently on the road for our move to Washington. My husband finished his training in Florida, and now we're off to our next station in Spokane, WA.
We're very excited about getting there. But for the moment, along the way, we're stopped and visiting with some family in Wisconsin.
By the time this trip is over we will have gone through 12 states! It's very fun to see the landscapes change...as for the weather, well...I sure do miss that Florida sunshine!!!!!!!!
(Though it is suppose to be an eensy weensy bit warmer here this weekend) Snow on the first day back in Wisconsin had my heart singing the blues for sure!! :D

I've made several cards in advance for you to look at while I'm away. Here's one I made with one of this month's Whipper Snapper releases, Simply Bloom.I started out with this designer paper (Parisian Summer- retired SU!), and added in this misc. piece of scrap paper (teal). I then stamped the flowers from this set on some designer paper I had found with just type on it. It adds some interest, don'tcha think? :) I then layered that onto my very vanilla card base and pierced some rows. The sentiment, from this set, is stamped with versamark an then heat embossed with gol embossing powder. I did the same with the butterfly an then colored him in with my Copic markers, cut him out and poped him up on a dimensionals. The buttons on the flowers are threaded with some thinly sliced gold brushed cardstock (in person you can see that better). Then the edges were lightly sponged with So Saffron ink to compliment the designer paper. Tada! :)

So what do ya think?
