Anya Blooms

Finally a card! I don't know what has been going on with me but I just haven't felt like creating. No, that's not true. I want to create, have a zillion ideas running through my brain but just couldn't sit down and get anything started.

Today I made myself catalog and put away some new-to-me stamps in hopes it would make me feel like getting started. A good friend told me to pick a challenge and go. So I did! Once I got started I could feel the stress melting away. Note to self~ creating is a stress reliever and a happy place--just do it!

This is one of the new-to-me stamps, Anya Blooms from The Greeting Farm. I've had her on my wishlist for a long time and am happy she came to live with me now! Only problem is that now I want the other "big" Anya's too. LOL!

My coloring was a bit rusty but this card made me feel happy and don't the fun colors just breathe spring? 





I used the current sketch at Friday Sketch Challenges~ my main image was a bit bigger than the sketch but I think you can still see the sketch in my card.



I'm also entering this card into the following challenges~
Hope you have a super fabulous day and do something that makes you smile!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!

I'm glad you had time for stamping and felt like it, too - awesome! That's kind of how I'm feeling - I don't have much time, but when I do have time I have no drive. Great card, Danni!
