So cute and pretty. Sorry I will be probably missing on and off as I have had the very devastating news about my husband. They will be sending him home from hospital in the next couple of days with not much hope. I can't have emails sent to me as they go to both computers and I am having a terrible trouble deleting them from his all the time the ones I do not want him to see.

ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Donna, this is just too funny! Love your color combo and all the die cuts you used. Your coloring on this is great.

Oh, my gosh, this is so cute, Donna! I love LOVE it! Makes my heart feel happy. The sentiment with the "hang in there" is funny and clever and spirit lifting, and the image is simply darling. Wonderful use of the dies and punches. Really love the colored background around the bear, too. Of course, I had to follow your link to Stamps by Judith. I have one Judith stamp that someone gave me. Didn't even realize they had an online store. Cute stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love the sketchy look of the image along with the fun sentiment. It also struck my how lovely red, pink and blueish colors look together, a combo I've never used. And so pretty die cut details. It's a lovely card, Donna.
ReplyDeleteFun card !!
ReplyDeleteFun card !!

This is so fun Donna! Love your sparkly embellishments added to this fun little guy. A sure cheer-up for any recipient!
ReplyDeleteI sure had to chuckle when I looked at your card. That is hilarious. Also a great layout and awesome coloring too. You always do such beautiful work.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty. And I adore that sentiment. Love this heart punch, and the additional use you made of the 'fall-outs'. The border is one of my MS favorites, and I really like the color scheme you've got going on this one. TFS &Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh Donna, this is sure to bring a smile to the heart of all who see it! The a beautiful design for your darling card. The abundance of heart elements are so pretty and I love the frame for your image. Wonderfully done as always, my friend. Sending lots of love your way!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Karen

ReplyDeleteHugs Pam x
Oh my goodness this is brilliant made me laugh that sentiment is fabulous lol love the dies and use of negative too
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Still laughing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 'fun' card for our challenge, thanks for joining us at Allsorts, xxx
ReplyDeleteHad to pop straight over and answer your question Donna otherwise I am sure to forget.
ReplyDeleteThe daisies are so simple, all of the Tattered Lace Charisma sets come with a CD Rom which prints out the flowers (each comes in lots of different colours with matching papers) and then there is a coordinating die which precisely matches the printout, hence the petals, sharing and folds are all uniform.
They are such clever sets as when you look at the printout you think it will never come out as a decent flowers, but each is printed with a generous surround so there is plents of room t place the die and avoid white edges.
I think the Ivy is the one that still amazes me most, that's the one I used on the circle easel with the Daisies, one could be forgiven for thinking it's real.
They are not cheap, but once you use them you see the benefit of the price.
