Things should start to get back to normal now. My son's football team lost today down in NC for the Regionals. I have mixed feelings as I of course wanted them to win and then move on to the Nationals in Florida but with Thanksgiving and then Christmas just around the corner, I'm a bit relieved we won't be leaving for Florida in 2 weeks!! Joey and my husband are on their way home now, just in time to get ready for school and work tomorrow!!! LOL!!
Since I didn't go, I was able to play along with this week's featured stamper challenge at SCS. Sarah is being featured and her wonderful gallery can be found HERE. I found a ton of cards I would like to CASE but since I am limited on time, I chose this one.
The base of this card is Dark Chocolate, with a mat of Eggplant and then a piece of DP from Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather Collection. I punched the bottom with my SU! border punch. I stamped the beautiful butterfly from Gina K's Take Flight set, on the another polka dot pattern of paper also included in the Mitten Weather set using Cocoa Memento ink, cut it out and used a purple Prismacolor Pencil to add some color. I stamped the image again directly on the DP as well as the flourish, from THIS Grand Damask set. The sentiment is from Verve's Christmas in the Air set and was stamped using Eggplant ink. Of course I had to add some small Memory Box clear rhinestones! Here is a closer look~
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have had a wonderful weekend!
