Ok, Ok, one last post for the night...

Ok, so I was wrong...one final post for the night.  I managed to pull together one more card this evening.  I really hate stopping when you are on a creative roll - so I didn't!  Lol!!

"Chevrons"

Here is the recipe for this card project:

So, I did take some time out to watch the Half-time Show - Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were AWESOME!!!  I'm not a big fan of Bruno Mars but after tonight, I can honestly say I will be checking out more of his stuff!

Thanks for dropping by one more time!

Engagement Wishes...

Hi Again,

Another post for today.

This morning I had brunch with a great friend whom I haven't seen in quite some time.  She recently had gotten engaged so I wanted to make sure that I had a very special card ready for her.  So, I dug into my new supplies again and came up with this:

I am absolutely in love with how the new Fancy Foil Designer Vellum looks with Very Vanilla card stock.  To me, it just looks elegant.  I wanted this card to have a "champagne" feel to it.  So I stamped the wine glasses from the "Happy Hour" stamp set in Basic Black and Crumb Cake and then used 2-way glue to add Gold Stampin' Glitter over the Crumb Cake portion to make the glass look as if it was full of champagne.  I then added some rhinestones to add some extra bling and serve as the bubbles for the champagne.  I also took some Crumb Cake ink and sponged around the Very Vanilla card stock strip over the vellum just to give it a little more definition.

I truly had a lot of fun making this card!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

1. CAS(E) this sketch!

2. The Friday Mashup

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project with "Sketch."
2. Create a project using some "Sponging". 
3. Or Mash it Up and create a project with "Sponging using the Sketch."

I decided to skip the "Sketch" on this challenge and on use the "Sponging" technique.

Here is the recipe for this card project:

Crumb Cake, Basic Black
