Happy Friday everyone!!! I hope everyone had a good day. Today was very hot and humid and cloudy with stray showers here and there. Atleast it is not the 7 inches we have had in the last couple days. My husband was joking that it was time for web feet...Everything is lush and green and MUDDY. I am thankful for the blessing of rain, though. Last year at this time we had a drought already.
Today I did groceries, cleaned house, and yes....created another card. I had so much fun coloring this one. I used a Sarah Kay image called "Fanny's cuddle". Her images are so cute and fun. My dear daughter actually picked it out for me. She loves dogs!! She thought I was making it for one of her friends upcoming birthdays. Shhh...Don't tell. It is for her. In less than a month it is her birthday so I thought I would get ahead of the game and make it now. I made this card with the Roses on Paper Challenge #13 in mind to use green, pink, and yellow. I also incorporated the Creative Inspirations Challenge to use more than 4 different papers on your card (I used 6) and the SC WT-222 Crinkled Cardstock Challenge (All my flowers are made of crinkled cardstock). The colors were perfect for my daughter Meghan. Pink is her favorite!! Since she likes soft, frilly and lacy, I thought I would make it more elegant and cutesy rolled into one. I used dp from Basic Grey Sultry and SU Bella Birds. The embroidered ribbon from Offray, the vintage charm, the punched edge, heart pearls, and crinkled flowers were to add elegance. The flowers were punched using my SU Boho Blossom Punch and then crinkled and sanded for a distressed look. In case you can't read the sentiment, it says "Birthday hugs!". I typed it on the computer in Curlz and punched it out with my Boho Blossom punch to match my flowers.
What do you think?
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Sarah Kay- Fanny's Cuddle
Paper: SU Bella Birds, BG Sultry, White, Pink Pirouette, Butter Yellow Bazzill, and Lily Pond Bazzill
Accessories: EK Success Fleur De Lis Punch, Hero Arts Pearls, Vintage heart charm, Offray pink embroidered ribbon, Making Memories Flower Brads, SU Boho Blossom Punch, sandpaper, coloring mediums, MS Fig leaf punch, sewing machine
When viewing my friend and FBW dt sister, Jodi's blog I learned about a new site coming out, Belles and Whistles, a sister site to Roses on Paper, with adorable stamps by one of my favorite artists, Elizabeth Bell. There is a call for guest designers. You can view the info for the call here at Roses on Paper. Since I love all of Elizabeth Bell's images, I have to give it a try.
I almost forgot.....one of my cards won. Last week I had made a card for the Creative Inspirations Challenge and I won a bunch of embellishments. Do I need more embellishments, you say...Of course, one can never have enough. How fun!! Creative Inspirations is a fun challenge blog. If you have not played along, you really should. They usually have fun prizes to go with their challenges. You too could win!
Thanks so much for stopping by again today!! I hope you enjoyed today's post and that you have a great weekend!! Thanks again for all your wonderful comments. I so appreciate them. Thanks also for the lovely creations on your blogs. Your creations inspire me. I hope in some way I inspire you.
