Hello Dreamers!
How is your week going?  Keeping busy here.   Making a few cards.  Mowed the lawn today too.   Now that I have that out of the way, I have more time to make cards.....
The projects today, feature dry embossing.  The embossing really sets the tone for the card.  On the first card, I added some paper flowers and a little bee.  The second card is all dry embossing with a little bee.
