Today was another cloudy day. Doyle and I took a walk this morning and again after dinner. I made Paula Deen's Crockpot Potato Soup for dinner--super yummy--and so very easy! We worked on rearranging the storage room upstairs, and I worked on my craft room--organizing again.
I am sharing with you today the fourth project from March Play Day. We used the Special Someone Stamp Set for the card, which is a CASE of a project created by Mary Fish (stampinpretty.com, post dated January 27, 2020). Here is a picture of my project:
The little raccoon is SO CUTE! I used the Stone Embossing Folder from the Power of Hope Bundle (SAB) for the Smoky Slate layer. I also was able to use the Stitched So Sweetly dies from the January - June Mini Catalog (one of my all time favorite dies)!
The sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Real Red, cut out with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I added bling with the Frosted and Clear Enamel Dots.
On the inside, I stamped the flower with Memento black ink, colored it with Blends markers and added a Metallic Pearl to the center.
Here is my recipe for this card:

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. In these crazy days when we are all "social distancing", consider making a card and sending it to someone special to make their day! After all, who doesn't like HAPPY MAIL!

Linda
