Okay, I have to admit that today's challenge over at "365 Cards" gave me a wee bit of a problem. The challenge was called "living on the edge" and we had to decorate 3 sides of a card.
I decided that it's a good thing that I work part-time at Anchor Paper as I went through so much cardstock trying to come up with an idea that I threw away 3 cards before I came up with this. Anchor sells cardstock by the piece, by the pound or by the ream.
I created the background paper a few days ago while I was sitting in my craft room listening to some new music that I got. It's an old stamp that I pulled out of the background drawer in my stamp area. The stamp is by Impression Obsession. I colored it with my tombow markers, which I still prefer to use over Copics (because I don't have the hang of them or anywhere near as many color options).
The edge is the new Stampin' Up lace punch, the butterflies are from Martha Stewart, and the sentiment is also from Anchor Paper and it is the Stamp of the month for May, by American Crafts. If you have not tried their clear stamps they are wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment so I know you were here.
Enjoy
This card put a big smile on my face! Love it!

ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteLove your design today. Don't you just love the new SU border punch. We only got it out here in Australia on 1st April this year so I am having so much fun with it. I really like the colour choice that you have chosen as well. I think we are all having trouble with todays challenge. When I first read it I thought piece of cake but you really have to think about what you are going to do.
