a card a day in may - 5/16: SO HAPPY

Happy hump-day, peeps! Middle of the week again... good grief, where is the time going?? I could use a WHOLE lot more of it these days, so if anyone else finds it, let me know! ;)

Another ACADIM card for you today! I've decided that since I'm now over the half-way point for this series (go me, YAY!), that I can start abbreviating it now. LOL Anyway, this one features that gorgeous Memory Box 'Wild Blooms' die:


This is a tricky die because the pieces that come out are so tiny! However, there are ways around getting those pieces out and glued down on to your project in all the right places (without it taking five hours LOL), but I'm going to save that trick for another post. ;) Here, I just used the negative instead... still just as much impact! I even ran it through with a few extra card stock shims so the edge of the die would emboss around the negative area, but my camera was unable to pick it up very well (perhaps clicking the photo to see it larger will make it clearer..?).

And I know some people would say that unless it's a Halloween card, black cards are a no-no, but I personally LOVE black: any time, any where. I thought this would make a very striking combo. :) And yes, there's another banner again... GAH! I think I need a 12-step program. ;)

Thanks for reading and for supporting me on this journey with your lovely comments. ♥ See you again tomorrow!
