Live, laugh and love: a great way to experience life! I am fortunate to be retired from the work world and have the gift of leisure time to spend doing what I love ... stamping and playing with my crafty "stuff".

This time I chose to use a transparent set by Penny Black from the "Bloom" collection called Petal Power. This set includes solid flowers as well as outline flowers. I stamped the flowers and sentiment with Luxe ink Teal Zeal and the leaves with Distress ink. The background is a diecut using Penny Black's Creative Die Interlocking placed over white cardstock. I love the huge collection of flower stamps available from Penny Black!
I thought of my stamping/blogging friend Lin Brandyberry when I designed this card. She uses flowers and the color blue to perfection!
I do love the sentiment. Nowhere does it mention "clean house", "do laundry", "cook meals". Perhaps that all falls in the category of "Live Fully"!
I want to spend more time with this set as there are other flowers that will be fun to work with. But for now, the mop and bucket are beckoning and my ingrained work ethic is saying "work before play". Perhaps I need to take this sentiment as my mantra and make it powerful enough to block out mops and buckets!!
Have great day ... whether it's working or playing!!
