Startin' The Day off Right....

Good Morning! Day two of being a stay at home Mom with no kids....kinda weird.

I made this card as one of my Happy Spring cards I'll send to my family back home. I started with turquoise paper from my DCWV Asian pack. They have some great pieces with watercolor type markings that I just love. I then used a piece of striped pale pink patterned paper for the background and that I had from one of my Costco packs. I used my Gardenabella Stamp again because she is so spring-yand I love my Bella's! After embossing her with Stamp-it's Hologram Powder, I colored her in with my lovely Crayola's. This time after rounding the corners I went around the edges with my DuDrop Jumbo Java Ink pad to make it look older. I then used some scraps of brown faux marble paper I had to border my Bella and also the bow banner at the bottom. I used the same Asian paper and took some sissors to the edges before I added two bronze brads and the white ribbon. The buttons are out of the button jar and for some reason I have an abundance of these wood one's - but they are so unique, I love them!

I will be posting again later since I now have some time on my hands, and I have done a couple more challenges! My goal is to get some blog candy! Ok, I'll admit, I don't really know what that is, but everyone is talking about it. I think it is when someone gives you a blinkie or something to post saying you have a nice blog. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! ha!

Thanks all...

Bless Up! (That's my new Jamaican sign off!)
