This is for the IC challenge. I got my inspiration from this: IC749 {4/11/20} Laundry Basket Quilts by ohmypaper! at Splitcoaststampers (It's the one with the white picket fence and sunflowers)
And for the Alpha D challenge for Dandelions. I added so saffron ink to the e.f. and then used golden glow polish on it. I used grit paste in the centers and applied ink to it. Also sponged some DOX all round. The top part of the fence was solid, so I took my scissors and cut around them. Used the blue parakeet polish on the fence.
Ha, I almost forgot it was Wed. and time to post my D card. Does anyone else forget what day it is now? tfl!

I forget what week it is. I love that folder. I think that dandelions are so interesting. They're a member of the sunflower family. Lovely summery card.

What a wonderful, sunny card this is Shirl. I love that you inked up this embossing folder in yellow for these fun dandelions. Great idea to add grit paste to the flower centers and color them- this adds wonderful texture. This embossed fence is really fabulous Shirl and adds a lot of depth and dimension to your card. But I have to say, this might just be the tiniest tag I have ever seen. How in the world did you find a sentiment small enough to fit on this tag? I am impressed my friend! ~Karen.

Your dandelions are So Cute, Shirl! I've never seen them look this good! How fun to add some sparkle and shine. The bird looks so cute on the very well fussy-cut fence. You've got a lot of patience! Fun card~

This is a cool technique for your panels. Beautiful card! I know, it is hard to keep track of the days. I'm still going in to work 3 days a week, so that helps.
