Inspired By Stamping Inspiration Challenge #65

Good morning everyone. 

Today I wanted to share with you a card I made for another Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challege. I just love the colors in this challenge and i think the papers work nicely. If you chose to play along, you still have until the 24th of September to get your entries in and dont worry, if you do not own any of their amazing stamps, you can still play along. 

Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is the card I made for the challenge:

 Isnt it just darling?

My friends birthday is coming up on the 29th so I wanted to make her a special little card. I hope she likes it. This card measures 5½ x 5½ in. I started with a textured tan card stock and layered these beautiful papers from Authentique "Cherish" collection. I added a doily that I had painted with a light pearl green watercolor to and cut out a heart shape from the tan card stock. I ran the heart cut out thru my sizzix with a cuttlebug embossing folder then layered it on top of the doily. This adorable stamp is from The Greeting Farm and it is a set called "Lovey Dovey". I paper pieced her clothes and the little heart in her hair from the same pattern paper used in the card. The beautiful Birthday Sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping called "Big Wishes". 

I crocheted a little 5 petal flower and added a little flat back pearl to the center. I am really happy with the way this card turned out. 

Remember, Inspired by stamping is having a blog hop right now and will run for 2 weeks. If you would like to hop along with them, you can join them here.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all are enjoying  your weekend.

Hugs and Blessings,

Card for a friend

Good evening everyone.

 I hope you all are having a beautiful week. I have had a cold for the last 2 weeks and this darn cough just wont seem to go away. I have been bored out of my mind being in bed so much so I decided to make a card for a dear friend of mine. I just love how it turned out. 

Isn't it beautiful?

 This card measures 5½  x 5½.

First I started with some pink card-stock. I then layered it with the beautiful pattern paper from the Bo Bunny Isabelle Collection. I glued a doily to the center that I had picked up from Michaels in the baking department. I added a die-cut from the paper collection and used pop dots to  give it some dimension. The image is from the Greeting farm and she is Dressy Ebony. I colored her with copic markers and paper pieced her dress from the same collection of papers. I think her little outfit is adorable. I also used pop dots behind her to pop her up. The pink Rosette I have had in my stash for a couple years now. I'm sorry, I do not remember what store I purchased it from. I cut apart some Venise Lace I had and tucked it under the rosette. They look a bit like little leaves. I also tucked in a few strands of pearls that I had picked up from AC Moore and then added a beautiful clay rose to the center of the rosette. The filigree corners I got from ButterBee Scraps. They were a copper color so I heated them up with my heat tool and poured on white embossing powder. The butterfly's were punched with the Martha Stewart 3 in 1 butterfly punch and I finished the card off with a beautiful sentiment stamp by Inspired By Stamping  . If you haven't been to their store, Make sure you check it out. They have some AMAZING stamps that are perfect for all occasions.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week. 

Hugs and Blessings,
