Lovely is the Day, Painted Glass & Dies

I found an unfinished card the other day, and said to myself, because there wasn't anyone here, "you really need to finish the gazillion projects you have laying around".  So here is just one of the many.

Three of the items I used to make this card are on sale, and should you want to purchase any of the supplies I used to make it, I would be honored if you chose me as your demonstrator, and placed your order in my on-line store, HERE.

• The Whisper White piece is 3 1/2 x 2 1/2, and is the base for 3 Stained Glass Call Me Clover die cutouts (retiring 5/31/2020).

Side note:  My next card will have a more narrow strip for the words, just sayin'.
