Be Merry

Hi my friends.  I've been a little low on the mojo the last week or so since Perfect Sentiment is on vacation for the month of July.  Decided just to check out my list of challenges that I like to go to.  First I came across this color combo challenge from Cupcake Inspirations.


Next I needed a sketch and so went to My Favorite Things - Wednesday Stamp Club and found their new sketch for this week.
Then I just had to find some designer paper to work out the colors and came up with this card.

Materials Used:
  • Image - Lili of the Valley - Cute Fairy
  • Sentiment - My Favorite Thiings - Candy Cane Kisses
  • Cardstock - Stampin Up - Pink Pirouette, Daffodil Delight; Xpress It Blending Card
  • Designer Paper - Dovecraft Tea Party; GCD Studios - Homespun
  • Ink - Tuxedo Memento Black
  • Accessories - Deckle scissors; gold bling from my stash; Butterflies - Memory Box dies; Stickles - Candy Cane; Frosted Lace; Yellow; 
  • Copic Markers - B0000; E50, E51, E53; G00, G14, G17; R01, R20, R30, R81, R83, R85; Y11, Y13, Y21; Signo White Gel pen; Pentel Metallic Green Gel pen; Multiliner .03
I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:
Cupcake Inspirations - Color Combo
My Favorite Things - Sketch 131
ABC Challenges - Christmas in July
Card Mania - Christmas in July
