A Card Just Because!

Gosh, it seems like forever since I got to make a card just because I wanted to!  I have had NO time lately, and it's not going to get better any time soon.  But, last night I took the time to make this card.

I started by stamping the flower image (from Gina K's Lovely Shelf) with Versafine Onyx Black and embossing with clear embossing powder.  I colored it with Copic markers.  (I got some for Christmas, but now I "need" to get some more!)   I cut the image out with a Nestability.  I filled in the flower centers with Nut Brown Flower Soft.  The matting is from Die Cuts With a View matstack called Cafe Mediterranean, also cut with a Nestability.  The strip across the center is the same paper.  It's punched with a Fiskars punch.  The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink set called Year Round Puns.  Oh, how good it felt to stamp again! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
