Hello friends!! Yay!! Happy Friday to you!! Are you ready for the weekend?!! I sure am! I'm looking forward to spending some time with hubby!
I did a creation today just for fun and because I think these stamps are just too cute! :)
When I first saw this darling Milly- Me and my dog stamp at Lilli of the Valley, I couldn't help but grab it up! It just stole my heart! :) I see they've come out with some new really adorable Christmas stamps, but I'm trying to resist!! LOL!
For my creation, I was following a sketch and few other challenges you'll see below, but the metal corners I have on my layout are actually a bright gold color, but I've muted them a bit as well as some of the flowers by spraying over them with white paint. I wanted to balance out the colors by adding a few greenish colored accents with the pearls and ribbon. I wanted to make this soft and girlie looking.
Here are some challenges that I've entered this card for:
LOTV - missing you
Sweet Stampin' - sketch and anything BUT birthday
City Crafter - recipe: 1 ribbon, 2 words, 3 butterflies
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Daring Cardmakers - photo inspired
So I hope you've enjoyed my creation for you and I hope that you enjoy your weekend!! I have some exciting things to share with you on Monday, so please be sure you come back for that!! :)
