I have a quick and easy card for a Monday. I love using the stems from “Grateful Bunch” in my backgrounds, especially with a color that I have been neglecting – Cucumber Crush. The cut leaves are from one of the Rose Garden thinlits. Have a great week!

I added a strip of designer paper from the Botanical collection before adding my stars. … Continue reading
