Crafters Retreat - March 2025

I was recently invited to attend a crafters retreat at a wonderful spot just outside Blackhawk, Colorado called the Golden Gate Getaway. The house is wonderful and the craft room is great! There were 12 of us and the entire weekend was full of laughter! We crafted, talked, shared our talents and played some fun games. It was wonderful and I ended up coming home with some great memories. Here is the card I made to share with my fellow crafters:

The card base is Basic Gray with a layer of Basic Black. I used a design from Botanical Textures designer series paper and added an insert of Basic Black layered with a Basic White piece on which I printed a sentiment. The image is from Mixed Florals and was colored using Stampin' Blends (Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon) and then die cut using the Mixed Florals dies. I added some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems and called it done. I worked my computer magic on the front sentiment, front image and the inside of the card. I don't remember much from my days as an IT person, but I do remember how to use my computer to get creative!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!
