I have another card for you!!! I wanted to mention that Lindsey has more of the 7 Gypsies paper I used on yesterday's card on order so keep checking her Store for availability! OK, on to the card!
The layout of this card is based on Lauren's Saturday Sketch and Tuesdays color challenge which was to use Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip. The base of this card is Chocolate Chip cardstock with first a mat of Pretty in Pink and then Celery. The top embossed Whisper White piece was first stamped using THIS beautiful Inkadinkado Thank You stamp using Chocolate Chip ink. I then ran this piece through my Cuttlebug using my Birds & Swirls embossing folder. I stamped the Inka ~ Bird House (Lindsey is hoping to get more of these in at the beginning of next week) using Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White cardstock. I cleaned the stamp and then stamped the flowers using first Pretty in Pink ink and stamping on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and did the same with the Celery ink. I cut the flowers out and adhered them on top of the brown ones using my Quickie glue pen. I also added some bling ~ of course!!! I used light pink and green bling from MAMBI. After stamping the Bird House, I then stamped the sentiment also using Chocolate Chip ink. I then cropped the image by basically cutting off the You. I matted this piece on first Chocolate Chip cardstock just on the bottom half of the image and then Celery behind the entire image. I then lined up the words and mounted this on the front using dimensionals. The final step was the add the pink and brown ribbon.
