Good Morning!
I haven't had a ton of time to stamp lately due to the Easter and the fact that my kids have been home since Friday for Spring Break!!! I find it difficult to stamp much when they are around due to the fact that I taught them my name!!! LOL!!!! WHY did I do that?!?!? LOLOLOL!!!!
Luckily, this card came together quite quickly for me! Here is the sketch (the keyword is incorrect on the sketch so if you do play along, the CORRECT keyword is JBE049) ~
Here is my card ~
You are probably saying, why does her card NOT look exactly like the sketch?!?!? Well, it WAS going to look just like the sketch until I started becoming an overachiever by sewing on my card and THEN messed up my opening SO I then added my ribbon THERE to cover up my boo boo instead of on the other side.... LOL!!! If you would like to play along, be sure to follow the sketch!!! LOL!!! Really though, if you do, please used keyword JBE049 so we can all see how YOU can follow instructions!!!
The base of this card is Chocolate Chip CS with a mat of Naturals Ivory CS and then a decorative piece of paper from THIS Pink Paislee Collection. I used my Janome Sew Mini to sew around and then added THESE Daisy D's Brown photo metal corners. The darling Inkadinkado Fawn image was stamped on Naturals Ivory CS using Creamy Caramel Craft ink and then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. I then cut the image out using my rectangle Nesties and left the die on and sponged Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip Dye Ink on the edges. I then added white to the Fawn's spots using my white gel pen. I sewed in each corner and then added a brown Kaiser Craft pearl, matted on a scalloped Chocolate Chip piece, added a strip of May Arts ribbon and then a little bow of natural hemp twine.
Be sure to check out what the girls have done with the sketch!
We are going to see the Hannah Montana movie this morning since it is raining AGAIN (stop laughing Dawn!!!) and then I will be back later with a card for the start of Verve's Sneak Peeks!!! Julee has some fun challenges to kick off the release ~ you can check them out HERE!!! You are going to LOVE the new stamps!!! The release party is Friday night at 9pm EST. You can join in on all the fun HERE in the SCS forum!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
