Rooted In Nature - Pansy

Hello there and HAPPY Friday!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  Do you celebrate Independence day this weekend and beyond?  Our celebrations start tonight!  Tonight starts with a Qualifier Open Barrel Race (which my daughter wants to participate in).  If she is in the top two for her age group she'll move on to the rodeo tomorrow night!  HOPING...HOPING...HOPING!!! There's also a Bull Riding Championship Saturday night along with softball tournaments, cribbage tournaments and Mary Poppins at our Performing Arts Center!  Sunday there are more softball tournaments, horseshoe tournaments, pickleball tournaments, train rides through town.  Our park is full of concessions through the 4th...lemonade, beer booths, kids swim free at the public pool.  Tuesday are our FIREWORKS and THE DESTRUCTION DERBY!  Wednesday is the Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, the Anvil Firing, our annual Pie and Ice Cream social, Arts & Crafts fair in the meadow, the Saw Mill, the Stamp Mill, the Jackson Museum and the Blacksmith shop are all FREE and we shut down Highway 299 for about forty-five minutes for our Main Street Parade!  It starts today and ends on Wednesday...lots of NOSTALGIA and FUN!  

Whatever your plans are I hope you find just a bit of time to create and here's just a little bit of INSPIRATION!

I created this card back at the beginning of the month (June 1st) when I made one that also looked like a poppy!  I was an a roll with this stamp set - Rooted In Nature!  Here's a PANSY made out of the same set!  

I just used my Stampin' Write Markers to color the center in Crushed Curry, the outside in Blackberry Bliss and stamped the image onto a 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. It is mounted onto a 3 7/8" X 3 7/8" piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock then offset from a 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock.  The background is Garden Impressions designer paper!  The sentiment (from the same stamp set) is stamped on the smallest square cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits!

I LOVE the colors...they're so rich!  I hope you'll give it a try!  THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by!  Enjoy your weekend...HAVE FUN and STAY SAFE!!
