Create4Fun's monthly challenge is a fabulous sketch, and even better the winner of the challenge gets a Cuttlebug machine! Can't be bad hey!!
I've used one of the long neglected Gorjuss Girls for today's card and have used the delish Wisteria pad again - I think she looks so sweet all decked out in purple. The sketch is a nice simple one so can take busy, dark papers quite well I think. The pearls I have are not the same colour as the pearls in the brads so I fixed that by re-colouring them with a Hi-Text metallic marker. I also re-coloured the brads on the inside and then heat embossed them with a clear powder to make them shine. I really should have been a magpie I think lol.
The inside is kept plain, and I have once again used the sentiments from SimonSaysStamp. Love these sentiments, they are so perfect for friends cards.
Recipe:
Stamps, Sugar Nellie and SimonSaysStamp sets You make the flowers smile and Simply the best sentiments
Papers: Basic Grey Wisteria pad
Tools: Martha Stewart Branch punch, Nestibilities, circular punches, EK Success Binding Edge punch
Embellishments: Imaginisce/Papermania flowers, pearls, dragonfly charm
Thanks for looking,
