Special Wishes...

Well, it's Challenges Time! I've created a card for the Our Creative Corner Weekly Sketch (sketch is below) and have discovered that it qualifies for other Challenges as well! Since I've been doing the Challenges and Sketches, I've found that my cards never seem to repeat themselves! Sometimes, you discover that you've been re-making the same style card, and it can get frustrating. When that happens, I whip out my printed sketches that I've found on other blogs or on SplitCoast Stampers and start creating something! Give it a try, you'll find a new freshness to your creations!

Challenges: Our Creative Corner Weekly Sketch, Flutter by Wednesday, Little Red Wagon, Simon Says Challenge, Roses on Paper, Pollycraft Monday, Raise the Bar, Crazy 4 Challenges, My Time to Craft, Diecut Dreams, and Stamp with Fun!

You'll notice that I didn't do any stamping, digital or manually for this card! I purchased the Madeline Designer Paper Pad by K & Company and it fit perfectly for the OCC Sketch this week! I'm really liking the vintage papers I've been finding lately! This was a quick card and it took more time to add the pearls to the butterfly than anything else! The rhinestone swirls are new at Michael's and of course, I had to have them! I used the Heart Plain and Scalloped Nestabilities for this card! My corner punch is by Martha Stewart and my sentiment is a peel off sticker! I finished my card off with a pretty brown organza bow! Card size: 4 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches

  16. Beautiful card Darsie! I really love the bling! BTW, On the Ethereal Forest blog, all I can get is a strip down the center of the page with the text & partial pictures. It's been like that from the beginning, but didn't know who to contact. Thanks!
