Good Morning! I love low key weekends. Actually, today will be a little busy with laundry to get done and Hollyanne has a dance class this afternoon. But I decided to treat the kids to dinner at a favorite (and cheap) place. But Saturday was cold and rainy and a great day to stay in my craft room!
Last night Busy Beauties Boutique had a release party and I scored a free image from the sweet, sweet Carolyn. So I set out to play. I also discovered that I could join her challenge, too. Although, I don't think my card turned out like rubbish, there are LOTS of scraps that should've been thrown away, involved.
I followed the sketch from The Sweet Stop. I think this is probably the first time I've ever played along with their challenge and not used a Sweet n Sassy image. I think it's OK, just this once. Ha! I also added blossoms which fits the Our Creative Corner challenge. And as I mentioned, it fits Busy Beauties Creation Station challenge using bits of scrap papers and ribbon.
Supplies:
Card Stock: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Basic Black (SU!) and Black (Bazzil)
Paper: Tempting Turquoise (SU!)
Copics: B000, B00, B02, BV00, BV02, C8, E53, E57, RV000, RV02, RV10,
Y06, Y11, Y15
Stamps: Tweet Hello from TAC
Tools: SVG cut from Penny Duncan Creations, SCAL/Cricut, Martha Stewart border punch, 3/4" & 7/8"
circle punches
Embellishments: ribbon, prima flowers, gemstones
I hope you like my card. I want to thank Carolyn for giving me such an adorable image to play with. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope your Sunday is a blessed one.
