Gosh it's Thursday already and the weekend is almost upon us. Can't believe I've been so busy and having so much fun playing in the craft room this week. I've neglected getting around to visit the past couple of days as I've been trying to get my 4 cards for CCAYR August challenge completed and still play in other challenges. I've found out that if I take as much time to play and create as I do on the computer I can get a lot more done.....lol With that said, this evening I'll be devoting my time to getting around to visit all of you that have left comments and some of you that have probably been as busy I have creating with little computer time on your schedule.
My card today is for the following challenges:
Crafting Life's Pieces (CLP) - Sketch #38 - Monthly Challenge
Bells'n Whistles - EB Image, Flower & Pearls
I've used 2 stamps from WOJ Spring Stamp Kit, "Dare to Dream" and "Spring Tree", masking the dream stamp prior to stamping the tree and then colored with Copics. Dress: E99, 97, 95, E01; Hair: E59, 53, 50; Skin: E21, 00, 000, R20; Leaves: YG63, 03, G20; Tree: E49, 47, 44, 42. Flowers are from WOC, MS Bough Punch. Lace is from WOC with pearls added to the centers. Pearls on dress were made using Viva Decor Ice White Liquid Pearls. One of the shelves in my paper cabinet fell and all of my loose 6 x 6 papers are a mess so I have no idea of the name of the DP but it was distressed with Tattered Rose. I also added Chocolate Spica to the center of the flowers.
Oh, I almost forgot to let you know that my card for the LOTV challenge made top 3 this week and I am so excited and honored to have been chosen from among so many talented designers. Almost fell out of my chair and then stood up yelling and jumping for joy. My hubby thought I'd lost my mind and when I told him he just said, "Oh, good for you". Not a lot of enthusiasm there.......lol
Well, got to get back to finishing a couple of cards for August CCAYR. Hope you have the time to leave me a comment because I WILL get by to visit, if not tonight then soon. I'm sure I've missed out seeing some wonderful and exciting creations and that I'll be back tracking on some of your blogs so I don't miss anything.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead, stay safe & be happy.
