It seems strange looking back on my crafting life. Before I retired, I made cards, lots and lots of cards! I turned to paper, stamps and inks for a stress reliever from my work life. Then, after I retired, I found that I was crafting less and less often. Almost as though I no longer needed it to calm me. Only recently has the desire and joy in card making returned and it fulfills me once again.

This card is made from the new Hello Lovely stamp set from Concord and 9th and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches Sympathy Sampler set. Love how forgiving this floral set is. Especially for those days when perfection is no where to be found!
It's all about the details:
Stamps: Concord and 9th and Paper Smooches
Cardstock: Neenah Solar White
Patterned Paper: MFT
Ink: Distress Oxide
