Topiary Get Well
How is it going everyone? I hope all is well. I really do not have that much to share. I have done a little shopping. I was in Raleigh over the weekend and made a pit stop into Archiver's. I only picked up a handful of stuff, so I did not do too much damage. The only 'new' item I got was an American Crafts stamp set. I also purchased a few items for my studio to try to complete the room so I can finally show it. It basically is finished, but I would hate to show it, then add an element here or there that I would like to share, so I am going to hold out on the reveal until I feel it is complete.
Today's card is inspired by PTI's Everyday Button Bits stamp set. Although I really did not use it, I got the idea from it. I used the topiary stamp, but added an abstract flower pot and elongated the stem by placing the pot as far down as possible. I used a large new leaf button for the topiary plant. Nothing fancy, but it is like a plant to give someone under the weather or not doing so great.
Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting!
