****THIS POST WILL REMAIN ON TOP UNTIL NOON WEDNESDAY, 19 MARCH. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS****
Good morning and Happy St. Patty's day! I did not do a card for the occasion today though - I am kind of greened out to tell the truth!! So, I did the
SBS9 challenge instead! I belong to this wonderful group of ladies and each month we take turns on posting a sketch challenge. So, here is my take on it - I loved this sketch! I decided to use my
Fabulous Flowers set for this one because I totally love the images. The base of this card is
Regal Rose card stock which is layered with
Summer Picnic Dp - aren't those polka dots yummy?? Then, there is another layer which is
Rose Red card stock and
Regal Rose card stock. I used my
ticket corner punch and then added
stitching to all of them. I used a piece of
Rose Red grosgrain ribbon and ran it down the side, then stamped my images with
Rose Red Classic ink on
Whisper White card stock, cut them all out, and mounted them on
dimensionals. I added a
Regal Rose brad to the smaller flowers, then used my
white gel pen and added some dots to pull out the
Dp in the background. On the big flower, I used my
two-way glue pen on the white spaces, then added
chunky glitter. I like the effect this left. I also added
Rose Red brads to the outside corners, stamped the sentiment in
black stazon on
Regal Rose card stock, and mounted it on
Rose Red card stock. All done! It was a fun card to make so I hope you like it! And now, on to the blog candy!!!!
Ooh, do I have some goodies for you all!! There are two packs of stamps, beautiful butterfly embellishments, some yummy ribbon, pink leather flowers, chipboard hearts, and some wood tags. And, what do you need to do to win? Well, first you need to leave me a comment here saying you have linked me on your blog (if you have one), and then in the comment you need to tell me what your favorite type of embellishment is. if you don't have a blog, don't worry, you are still entered if you leave a comment. Please only one comment per person though. That's it!! Easy
peasy!! I will leave this post on the top of my blog until Wednesday morning when I will use Random.org to decide who the lucky winner is!!
Whoohoo! Now remember to scroll down for newer posts because I don't want you to miss out on anything *wink* Have a wonderful day!!
