Lavender And Lace

Good Afternoon!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at Mod Squad, Lavender And Lace, hosted by one of my ever talented BFF's Judy Woodland and Stamp TV, Count Your Layers, hosted by another one of my ever talented BFF's Barbara Campbell.

 

I started with Lovely Lavender card stock of course and the All Occasion Tags, Dreams, and Lacy Borders stamp sets, all by Gina K Designs.  The tag die is by MFT, Traditional Stitched Tags.  

 

 

I layered 2 tags together, the bottom one I used White Embossing Powder and a pretty lacy border stamp.  The top has an image and sentiment stamped using inks in Tuxedo Black  and Wisteria Wonder.  I also added a layered butterfly using the EK Success Trio Butterfly Punch, bottom layers in card stock, top in Vellum accented with 3 small Adhesive Rhinestones.  An eyelet and ribbon threaded through the tags. 

 

Check out the fine detail on that lacy border stamp, it looks like real lace!

 

I have counted 10 layers on this card. 

 

Thanks, as always, for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~





Birthdays Are A Wonderful Journey!

Good Afternoon!

Today's card will be entered into the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge and the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Journey. Nothing says journey more to me than another birthday.  It's a good time to take stock over the past year and to look forward to the next.

I love the sketches that MFT has each week, such great designs!  I am also happy to say that I won the Challenge last week at Simon Says and received a $50 Voucher, YOWZA!  So I am actually going to buy some MFT dies and Simon Says stamps, they offer so many different products, it's CRAZY!!!  (oh and the win is ALL random, luck of the draw!)  But, I'll take it!  lol

 

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Dreams.  The Designer Paper again is from Echo Park, A Perfect Summer.  Spellbinder's Lacy Squares die, Sizzix, Flower, Old Country Bloom die, topped with a fabric brad by Cloud 9.

Okay the sun is shining and my gardens and rake are calling, almost done with the Spring clean-up, which means I can begin to toss some seeds in! Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Enjoy~~
