Three challenges for this one: the theme from CaardVarks, the sketch from Laura, and the inspiration from Tuesday Trigger! I absolutely love how this one turned out. My vision in my head before creating it actually came completely through in the execution. Does that sound weird? Well, I generally visualize a card in my head before it comes out in paper ...

It's an interesting size card too. I have no idea what the "professional" measurements are supposed to be, I just made up my own. If they happen to be right, hey, what do ya know, eh? The size I used is 3-1/4" x 6". I added a panel of Pretty in Pink that I punched with the new scallop edge punch that's available free during SAB (and then for purchase there-after). Can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, but it's cool! Then, I added a small mat of white and patterned paper from the Sweet Pea DSP thats in the Occasions mini.

The main image panel was created by stamping the floral image randomly, well, not so randomly. I used a stamp-a-ma-jig to position it "randomly" hee hee! Then I coloured it in using a variety of pinks, hence the inspiration from Tuesday Trigger. The popped up sentiment was made using the matchbox die to die cut that frame with the sticky page on top. Then I coated it with Dazzling Diamonds. messy, but so worth it! The "mr" and "mrs" are embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder for a little more glitter.

It looked bare without anything else, so I added a couple of sprigs of the leaves using the Little Leaves sizzlits die (LOVE that die! if you don't have, you really should get it!). Add a little butterfly and I was done!

Anywho that's enough blather about the card! Hope you liked it!

oh, guess what?! Stampin' Up! had contacted me a loooooooooong time ago and asked me if I wanted to be a featured artist for the Stampin' Success magazine! It's a magazine that is sent to all demonstrators full of inspiration, business helps, and product info. Fairly cool to be asked and of course, I said yes!! Soooo, the mag came out online yesterday and here's a small peek at my stuff :)
