Happy Monday! I hope all is well with you. It's been a while since I've had a chance to craft and it will be a while until I am able to craft again. Tomorrow we leave for Boston for two weeks. We are finally going to get to see our boys, Haven't seen them in almost 2 years. Since we are fully vaccinated now, we decided to make the trip. We are driving and not flying so the drive time will be two days out and two days back. So a lot of time in the car. I am pretty much packed and ready to go. At first I wasn't taking anything with me to do, but decided I'd take a small box with images to color. So when I return home I'll have images ready to add to cards. Tonight I had a chance to use an image that was in my "ready to craft" box.
The cute frog image is from Beccy's Place called Frog and Oleander. I die cut the image with Spellbinders Large Octagons. I inked the card stock with Altenew Rose Quartz ink. The sentiment is from Firecracker Designs (found a Facebook page that turned up "not found"). I lightly inked the card stock with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. It's die cut with MFT Sentence Strips. The background flower paper is an upcycled greeting card. I loved the colors. I added a white dotted pink ribbon from my stash. All the layering is done with black card stock. I am entering these challenges:
- Beccy's Place May challenge: use a Beccy's Place image
- Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge: sketch
- 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
- Seize the Birthday: anything goes
- Love to Craft: anything goes
I do have one other card that I will post when I get the time. Otherwise, I probably won't be posting much for the next few weeks. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe until we meet again! Peace and all good!

Your card is beautiful Donna, the background paper is stunning! I love the colours and the gorgeous design, it works perfectly with the image. You've done a wonderful job interpreting the sketch too, I love that you've made the octagon a little larger than the design.
Have a wonderful time visiting your boys, I'm sure it's going to be a fabulous reunion after all this time! Drive safe and take care.
Cheers,
Beccy
