Hello!!!
Can you believe it, another card all in one weekend!?!?! Well, I started this card around 8:30 this a.m. and finished around 2:30!! By the time I fit everything else I have to do in between trying to make a card...well...yes, it does take me a LONG time to finish one! LOL!!! Good news though, my sons football team won the championship and boy was the game today a great game!
My card is based on today's featured stamper, Joan Ervin and her card HERE! Her card is REALLY cute and I wanted to keep those bright colors. Here is my card ~
The card base is Tangerine Tango and is 5" square. The next mat is Whisper White and then a polka dot pattern from the Bloom Collection from MME. The 3 decorative strips are from MME's Grow Collection. I matted each strip on Whisper White. The square under the image is first a scalloped square of Whisper White and then THIS Grow paper and then the same polka dot Bloom paper. The image is from Whipper Snapper and was stamped on Whisper White CS using Basic Black ink and then cut out using my oval Nesties. I colored the image using my Prismacolor Pencils and a blender pen & Celery and Tangerine ink pads and then matted it on an orange pattern from the Grow Collection. I added some clear Martha Stewart rhinestones to the Martha Stewart butterflies (WHICH you can find that punch HERE) as well as the top and bottom of the floral strips. The smile sentiment is from Verve's Circular Sayings and was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink, cut using my circle Nesties and then matted on the leaf patterned paper.
Before I go, I want to mention that a new release is coming up this week for Verve. Beginning May 20th, the sneak peeks will begin! Also, beginning May 23rd, ALL Verve Stamps are going to be on sale!!! How cool is that?!?!? Don't worry, when the time gets closer, I'll remind you!!! LOL!!!
Have a great evening or morning ~ depending on when you read this!!!

This is adorable! (For some reason though, when I see this image, I feel like a bee should be popping out of the flower and stinging the dog's nose. lol. **shrugging shoulders**)
