Patterned Paper Thanks

***This is my 2nd post for today.  Please scroll down or click here for my CAS-ual Fridays/ColourQ/Lawnscaping post.***

I made a super cute card for the last Paper Smooches Sparks challenge but when I went to post it I was 2 days late!  Doh! Not gonna miss it this time though (even if I have waited until the last minute).  As usual Kim has provided us with a fun image that opens the door for all kinds of crafty possibilities.  I was inspired by the colours and the flower and combined stamps from Pretty Phrases and Friendly Flowers to come up with my card.  I kept it simple with some patterned paper, fussy cutting and a bit of bling.  And thanks to the paper I'll also be entering it over at the patterned paper challenge at Lily Pad Cards.




Cardstock:  (Kraft) Paertrey Ink
Patterned Paper:  (Branch & Ripple from Brook collection) Crate Paper
Stamps:  (Sentiment from Pretty Phrases, Flower from Friendly Flowers) Paper Smooches
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Embossing Powder:  (Clear) Ranger
Gems:  Doodlebug

  1. Jen - I saw this card linked up to the Lily Pad challenge when I was linking my card. I LOVE your card, and especially the way you trimmed the papers around the sentiment on the top. That is such a great idea! I don't know if you saw it or not (or are interested), but PS is also doing a March guest designer search. I didn't see your card linked there. I thought I'd give it a shot - never tried before. If you're interested: http://papersmooches.blogspot.com/2012/02/march-guest-designer-search.html
    I'm off to look at more of your blog and become a follower!
