Welcome to the weekend! It's finally arrived. I do have to admit that my weeks go so fast. Being retired every day is Saturday so my weekends aren't too different from the rest of the week, except for our day with the twins. When they finish school for the summer we'll probably have them 2 days a week instead of just one. Anyway, I need some thinking of you cards so I thought I'd start with this one tonight.
This lovely image is from Beccy's Place. This Gnarled Wreath is a freebie at Beccy's Place. I added the sentiment from Echo Rainbow designs. I printed off two copies of the wreath, fussy cut out clumps of flowers, and popped them up with foam tape. I used Copic markers to color around the wreath before I fussy cut the wreath out. I added Diamond Stickles to the middle of the flowers. Hard to tell how sparkly they are in the photo. The background paper is from my scrap box and layered it with some kraft paper to bring out the brown of the wreath. The card base is a bright blue. I am entering these challenges:
- Beccy's Place April challenge: use a Beccy's Place image; optional floral
- Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
- Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch
- Simon Says Monday challenge: bright cheerful colors
- Love to Craft challenge: anything goes
- 613 Avenue Connect: anything goes; in the garden
It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I have a couple errands to run and have to get ready for the twins to come on Sunday. But I hope to get some time to play too. Have a super weekend! Stay safe. Peace and all good!

You've done a fantastic job fussy cutting around the wreath Donna, it looks wonderful. Great idea to cut out extra flowers too, you've created lots of depth by popping them up over the base image. Love the blue background and the yellow patterned paper, always a great combination.
Cheers,
Beccy
I'm in that everyday is Saturday also Donna, I have a calendar posted in front of me to remind me what day it is.
Your card is stunning, fabulous image from Beccy, hugs, Lori m
Beautiful card Donna. I like the vibrant colours you have used.
If it wasn't for the laptop having the day and date on it I think I would have no idea what day of the week it is either (providing I remember to hover over it!)
