Dang, 2 posts in 1 day....this is new!!! LOL!!! Scroll down one post for my OCC card! Last week I received an extra copy of CardMaker Magazine as well as my card that was in it. I was surprised to receive it and since I already had a copy of the magazine, I thought I would give it away with the card and some other goodies! I will give you all the details after posting my card I made today for Jen's ~ SFYTT ~
The base of this card is Whisper White with a mat of Sahara Sand and then Bashful Blue. I sponged all edges with Sahara Sand except the Whisper White pieces. I wanted the white to stand out! The Bashful Blue decorative paper is from SU!'s Summer Picnic collection and was matted with Whisper White. The butterflies on the left were punched using my Martha Stewart punch from Sahara Sand card stock and the little one on the right is from Bashful Blue card stock. The smaller butterflies were adhered using my Quickie glue pen and I added small blue rhinestones from Taylors Twinkles. The larger butterfly, embossed flowers and on the ribbon tabs are self adhesive rhinestones from MAMBI. The Cuttlebug flowers were embossed on Sahara Sand card stock and matted with Whisper White. I added Sahara Sand ribbon under the image and white Taffetta to tie on the tag which has the sentiment from Warmest Regards stamped on Vellum using Chocolate Chip ink and then cutting it out using THIS Spellbinder label die.
Now, for my give-a-way!!! Here is a picture of it ~
All you have to do is leave a comment here, on this post, and you will be entered to win all of it! What you will win is the new issue of CardMaker Magazine, my card that is in it (OK, maybe that is dumb but we can all use cards right??? LOL!!!), brand new Stampendous stamp set called Sushi Bowl Party (I love mine!), a pack of the hostess DS papers from SU! (the collection includes Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Apricot, Garden Green & Bashful Blue) and last but CERTAINLY not least, a brand new pack of Taylors Tiny Twinkles (this was hard to part with!!! LOL!!!). I will pick a winner Tuesday night at 8pm (EST) so you will have until then to post a comment!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic Valentine's Day!

Thank you for offering the wonderful blog candy. Love the card you made and I think it is fun to have a card from a stamper whose blog I enjoy visiting. And seeing the card in real life is different than seeing the card on the computer.
