Yippppee it is Friday and I have the day off! Met a girlfriend for breakfast and my sister and daughter for lunch...such a fun day. Now a bit of crafting time and I plan to finish up the wedding dress too...so much fun! I promise a photo when I am finished.
My card is for the current challenge at City Crafter Challenge and Miss Darnell is there guest designer so I had to plan along. I was inspired by the bridal bouquet in the photo for my card. I saw this technique some where in blogland and just loved the look of it. I stamped the Circles and Scribbles from PTI and then embossed in white. I used tattered rose to sponge the background.Added a few roses from Michael's and a few sequins to add a but of elegance to my card. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your weekend!
I have 2 new followers and I would like to welcome them to my blog...Pam from Pam's Paper and Ink, check out her blog, her cards are just so beautiful. Next I want to welcome Viv from Daizy-Mae's Crafty Blog, another incredible card maker. Thank you both so much
I had a request for a photo of my craftroom. I know it is a bit busy but I really like it that way. It is a small room but one that inspires me and always makes me smile. My hubby calls it Disneyland north, I took that as a compliment.
Look at you, now you are the queen of Distress ink sponging! This is such a wonderful card. I like how you have mixed the elegance of the flowers with the whimsy of those embossed circles.
ReplyDeleteAdorable card!, love the scribbles on Kraft!! Glad you had a great day...thought I heard through the grapevine it was your birthday!! Happy Happy Day!!!

ReplyDeleteHad to stop by and wish you a Happy Birthday, Kim. I hope you have a special celebration. *hint hint*. ;) Love the card. It really gives the feel of the photo inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI remember these stamps from the Lake House. *sigh* I still have a few die cut ones in my stash. "Yes", she said, hanging her head in shame, "I've been hoarding again." However after seeing this beautiful card, I might just have to un-hoard them! This is the most perfect wedding card. Gorgeous colors. Love it. And HB once more dear friend. Enjoy! Bev
