BLUSHING BRIDE - CHALLENGE #5

WOW,  I am earlier this week with my entry for the Stampin on Tuesday Challenge #5.  I wanted to start using some of the 6x6 In-Color DSP (hostess gift level 1), so today I am using Blushing Bride.  I love the softness of this color.  Here is the layout for this challenge.

               

and here is my take on it.



I must say I really like how it turned out.  I scored around the edges and placed my 1" squares using the repositional tape to line them up.  After putting the permanent adhessive on I got the new Pretty In Pink Taffeta striped edge ribbon; cut it, and  added double sided sticky tape.  I positioned the ribbon on the inside rows first and then the outside edges.  Next I placed the Basic Pearls at each intersection. I made my butterflies using the embossed butterfly wings embosslit (blushing bride cardstock) but only used the smallest three.  I used the scallop oval punch and the sentiment from So Happy For You.  I am so glad that I am using clear stamps as I can split the words and line them up real easy.  I used Regal Rose ink pad to sponge around the oval and then used the Mat Pack to do the piercing. I hope you like this.  Be sure to check out Stampin On Tuesday and play along with us.

I have been spending the last few days making some craft items to sell this spring at our campground.  I will share with you when I get them done.  I found a couple of websites that are willing to share how to make these items.  I also need to make more cards.  Thanks for looking and see you next time.

  4. Well I see everybody beat me commenting this week, but I had a "working" day yesterday so it kept me off the computer. Love, love the soft colors used on your card. Great idea using the ribbon for your frames, along with the pearls. Very simple, but a WOW card -- great job!
