For Nadine


Here is a card that I made for Nadine.  She was hoping to do a card swap when we all met up at CHA, but we didn't get the details in place in time.  I decided to make her a card anyway so she could have a handmade souvenir from her trip to Chicago.  I thought the sentiment was great to commemorate her first trip off the islands in 20 years.  Boy, did she ever "live for today" during her visit.  Check out her blog to see all her Chicago adventures.

The card doesn't really need any explanation. I used the leaf from Beautiful Blooms (stamped first in white then Ripe Avocado) and a sentiment from Through the Trees.







All supplies from Papertrey ink unless noted

Stamps:  beautiful blooms, through the trees
Paper:  stampers select white, kraft
Ink:   white, ripe avocado, plum pudding
Accessories:  Top Note die (SU!), ripe avocado twill tape, lavender moon grosgrain, lavender moon and ripe avocado buttons, corner rounder
