I thought I'd give everyone a break from Christmas cards today. My exams are 2 days away and I feel far far too relaxed about it all. Perhaps the terror of all NZ medical students, the 5th year exams, isn't so bad after all.
Anyway, I didn't exactly plan this card. I had this sudden impulse to stamp something. Anything. It has been a sunny day after all, so I grabbed out my Simple Sunflowers set and Rustic Cream cardstock and just went stampin'.
I did have a moment of sadness, seeing my Rustic Cream cardstock 12-pack shrunk down to half a pack :'( If I had known I would love it this much, I would have gotten a 50-pack. I will with my next cardstock order. My Vintage Cream 50-pack is getting nowhere enough love because of this beautiful cardstock.
Anyway, I am thrilled how this card turned out. The lighting (and Photoshopping) made it a bit brighter than it actually is. The colours are a bit more washed out in real life, but I love it either way! <3

What a beautiful card! I love the heavy shading around the half&half die cut - it really grounds that piece. And I hear you on the papers! It's so hard to order the papers when you're international - and I'm almost crying that my guidelines grid cardstock is down to 2 sheets!!
So beautiful; I just love those flowers!
so pretty!! i'm jealous...i wish it was spring here!!
This is so sunny and beautiful. I also have an unloved pack of vintage cream that has gotten ignored since my rustic cream sailed through the door. Lucky me, I can get free shipping.
Your card makes me happy! I love the beautiful yellow!
A very bright & cheery card. Good luck on your exams.
Very pretty , happy card.
So pretty! I wish spring was in the air here.... we've got a long winter ahead of us...
Love this card!. Between you and Leigh, I am thinking that I am going to have to get that Half & Half die.
