Birthday CCRAK challenge

Okay I haven't made any cards for awhile, but I did accomplish something. I managed to get 20K post on SCS. My DH says I need to set some higher goals for myself, so how about a few more post on my blog.

I needed to get a birthday card made for a SCS friend...whose birthday is today...I also wanted to get the sketch SC169 done, because the new one post tonight. I just love the sketches. This is the card I came up with.

I stamped the heart and butterfly form "Merci" on to watercolor paper using SU Basic Gray ink. I then used my SU markers and aqua painters to color the images. I used my new "So Swirly" Jumbo wheel with Mellow Moss on Very vanilla Card stock for the base. After, I embossed the Bravo Burgandy paper with "D'vine Swirl" embossing Folder. I cut a smaller piece of paper in Apricot Appeal and then embossed with "Floral Fantasy". I used my SU signo white gel pen to add dots around the swirls and randomly on the scalloped flowers on both pieces. then matted the Apricot Appeal with Mellow Moss and mounted it on to the Bravo Burgandy layer. I trimmed the two images and then trimmed around the hearts and mounted on Mellow Moss and Perfect Plum Cardstock then added the dots. I search for suitable brads or other accents and finally decided on the smaller heart raised on dimensionals, like the AA & PP pieces. I stamped them on Very Vanilla cardstock and painted them with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and cut them out. I am liking it more today then last night, but I felt last night I got a bit "DOTTY"...


Oh well Until later ...Happy Stamping!
