Each Day is a Precious Gift

Today was a refreshing, cool day after a very hot week.  I was very grateful, so the sentiment for this card seemed very appropriate.  Every day IS a precious gift from God.  The care was inspired by a beautiful card by Loll Thompson.  Check it out (and her many other amazing cards) on her blog here. I have been wanting to make a card using designer paper.  I have a lot of it but rarely use it so I thought this was a good opportunity.  The DP I used is Everyday Enchantment from SU.  I punched two 5 petal flowers out of the DP and then crunched them up into a ball and straightened them out again to add the dimension to the flower. I sponged the edges of the card in Soft Suede. Thanks for visiting my blog.
