Where have I been?

I've been skating, moving, going back to school and in general...dealing with life.  I haven't crafted much...but what I've crafted...I would like to share.  The other day I found this

It inspired me to make this set of cards...that doesn't happen often enough.

I swiped 3 blue colors up the side of the card stock using a direct to paper method.  The peacock and sentiment are from The Rubber Cafe.  I finished it off with a teal blue ribbon.  It's a simple no layers card that I thought would be great for a gift, so I made a few.  At some point I'll bunch them up with a few other simple cards and envie's to package for a friend of mine.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day.
