Friday Funny



Welcome to our monthly Blog Waddle! This month our projects celebrate Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, windy March, anything that feels like Spring! You may have arrived here from Lori Helvick’s blog. Following me is Kim Baker’s blog.
I picked the Flowering Rain Boots photopolymer stamp set (#157689) and the Rain Boots Dies (#157690) as I love to garden and I can’t wait to get into the flower beds. You can save 10% when purchasing the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (#157691). I started with a Basic White Thick card stock with a Basic Gray layer. Another Basic White layer holds the card elements. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery photopolymer stamp set (#158201).

The boots were stamped in Smokey Slate, the tulips in Blushing Bride, the flower pot, seed packet and daisies in Calypso Coral. The background trellis pattern is included in the Rain Boots Dies.

Here are the 2 pieces key to this card. If you use a dark card stock base, cut 2 pieces of white or vanilla 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″. The slider piece has 3 cut lines, making a frame. The piece inside that frame is scored in 3 places, shown by dashed lines. If the picture below is not clear, please contact me and I will help you!
