Bittersweet - CK #57

Hello my friends and Happy Thursday.  What a week!  All kinds of crazy stuff going on at my office.  I will be so happy when this week is over.  This is my birthday month and I really should do something to celebrate!  I know!  I think I'll put together a little package of fun stuff for some lucky commenter. Not sure what it's going to be yet, but it will be good.  I have so much stuff in my stamp room, I could open my own craft shop.  LOL!

Well, let's get on to the business at hand.  Our theme over at Creative Knockouts this week is Lace/Ribbon.  You can use either or both.  Up to you.  I chose to use some Paper Ribbon for my card.
The yellow outline on this one looks so much darker than it does IRL.  I was just trying to get a soft shading around the image.

Materials Used:
  • Image - The Stamping Chef - Bittersweet
  • Sentiment - Handwritten and on paper ribbon
  • Cardstock - Xpress It Blending Card; Stampin Up Basic Black
  • Designer Paper - Me and My Big Ideas
  • Accessories:  K & Co - Halloween Paper Ribbon; Doily Lace Die; Wild Orchid Crafts - small purple flowers; Prima - black flower; Glitter swirls from my stash; Liquid Pearls - Lavendar Lace
  • Copic Markers:  E0000, E000, E81; N5, N7, N9; V01, V04, V12; Y13, Y15, Y35; YG03, YG11, YG21; R46; Purple and Black Multiliners
Our wonderful sponsor this time is The Stamping Chef and she really has some great images over in her shop.
I hope you'll come join us.  Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Design Team has created for you.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.
