Dear Friend

I made this for the 2011 WCMD Challenge over on the Classroom blog.  There were numerous challenges this past Saturday and I loved the color challenge by Julie and was inspired by her design.  Thanks Julie!!  I clear embossed the flowers and sponged over it with Memento ink and added liquid pearls to the center of each flower.

For my card I used Layers of Color stamps and stencils (Flowering Gems, Sent with Love, The Love Chapter clear stamps and Belle Brocade art stencil).

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I made this for the Card Patterns challenge this week. I used the stamps Nature Walk, the sentiment from Merci Bouquet, and the Bella Brocade Art Stencil (all from Layers of Color). I also used Tim Holtz Fired Brick Distress ink, as well as Memento Cantaloupe. The flower was stamped several times, sponged with both yellow/red ink and layered.

Here is a closer look at the way I layered the flower:

I am hoping (crossing fingers and toes) that my modem for high speed internet will come in the mail today. Our little area of the country is finally going HIGH SPEED....yippee!! I have missed blog hopping lately and looking forward to catching up on everything I have missed. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

With Gratitude

Today I have a card I made late last night using Nature Walk... It turns out the Venti Vanilla Latte had enough caffeine to keep me perking until after 1 am, so I decided to stamp a smidge :o) I used the Art Stencil (which these are so easy to use!) Belle Brocade and stenciled it with Memento Desert Sand before stamping over it with the flourish.

This card fits a couple of challenges, the color combo challenge at Just for Fun and the current Papercrafts August Challenge of using Buttons, Brads, and Ribbon. I managed to use all three on this card with sort of surprised me.... Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
