Anyway, I'm just glad I'm back in business. Don't know what I would do if I lost everything I've already posted here over the last year.
This card that I'm sharing with you tonight is another card from my SCS Monthly Challenge Club. This kit was sent to me by Suzy back in May! Yep, finally getting around to making something with it. Mostly, I usually really like the cards that I make. Once in awhile there is one that I'm not so crazy about for one reason or another, but I must say that when I got finished with this card, I really liked it! I like all the ingredients that Suzy sent us and when I finally picked a layout for it, the card just all came together so easily. That was one of the requirements. We were supposed to pick a sketch from the SCS Sketch Challenges.
This is the card that I came up with.
All the supplies were in the kit except for the SU Going Gray c/s and the Recollections pearls. The image and sentiment are from a retired SU stamp set - Garden Collage. When I saw this paper, I just knew I wanted to use them both together and I thought the ribbon would bring it all together.
I used my Copic markers to color the image: G21, G24, Y11, Y13, Y19, Y38, and YR24. I also used C0 to light go over the background.
I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:
The House That Stamps Built - Flowers
Scrapalicious - Anything Goes
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Sympathy
Everybody-Art- Challenge - Anything Goes
LEJ Designs Challenge - Anything Goes
Paper and Such - Wings and Things
Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
Thanks again for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment. Hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to visit blogs of those who come by and leave comments here. Working full time sure does interfere with my personal life. I'd much rather be home stamping!
Beautiful card Maggie, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thing happen with my blog and it scared the bejeebers outta me. I backed my blog up but that was quite a long time ago and it needs to be done again.
Oh Maggie this is fabulous - love the all of it!
ReplyDeleteI have been having blog hassles too and have finally found a way around it...
skeery to think you may have lost the lot!!

ReplyDeleteIt's magnificent, Maggie! So glad you were able to get the blog problem fixed. One thing I have to say about Google is that they are really good at catching and stopping hackers who try to hijack blogs. Bless them for that one even if I do say bad things about Blogger now and then. :-D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Thank you for joining the "Wings & Things" challenge at Paper and Such.
