Hi everyone! Happy Saturday night. For a day that started out miserable for me, my evening ended up great! It was a very busy day but after dinner, my daughter and I headed downstairs to the craft room and we made cards together. Nothing like spending some quality time with my kids to get me in a better mood.
So here's a card that I made for the Busy Beauties Creation Station challenge and Just Us Girls. I won the last Busy Beauties challenge and so I used one of my prize images. This was so fun!
The BBB challenge was to use red, blue or both. Now when I was first thinking of this challenge, I thought I would just use red. I even found some fabulous Prima flowers on clearance for $2.99 to use with this challenge. The flowers remain unopened and I love my card! Inside is a little bookmark. I'm planning on giving this to one of the senior ladies at my work - she loves to read.
The Just Us Girls Challenge was to create a pocket card. I loved the DT line-up so much, that I used some of their ideas for inspiration. Thank you Dana & LeAnne for helping me get my creative juices flowing, you girls are very inspiring!
Supplies:
Card Stock: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Brocade Blue, Real Red
Paper: Red polka dots (Recollections)
Copics: G28, B95, B97, YG67, R27, R29, RV29, W-3, Y17, YR16, C8
Tools: Diamond Plate CB folder, Scallop Circle Nesties, CM Circle Cutters
Embellishments: Large eyelets, red polka dot grosgrain ribbon
I hope you like this card and thank you so much for visiting me. And to all the Mother's and Mother-figures... Happy Mother's Day to you all.
