{To a Wild Rose}

   

 Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am happy to show you a card made with the stamp set "Wild Rose" by A Muse Studios. I have wanted this set from the very first time I looked at the catalog! I sponged the rose with Shell, and Cherry pigment inks. This is my favorite way to use the A Muse pigment inks. The inks blend so beautifully. LOVE them. I cut two stamped roses out and attached them to the card with foam dots. I stamped the wrought iron border stamp using "Slate" ink. I did not have any A Muse light pink ribbon yet so I cut off a length of taffeta ribbon and sponged it with Shell pigment ink. Oh my goodness I am SO happy with the result. Now I will always have matchy ribbon! The pretty butterflies are also from A Muse. I included all 3 sizes in my picture so you could get an idea of how big/small they are. These are my first butterfly metal dies and I am so happy I waited to get them. They are 8.95 for all three sizes  and compared to the other butterfly dies available I think that is a great price. I accented my butterflies with sparky rhinestones. I am extremely happy with the way my card turned out and I am already thinking of my next card using this set!

{Thinking of You}

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I wanted to play with some of the new cling stamps by Inkadinkado I received last week. They really are top quality stamps and I highly recommend them! I colored the floral image with Copics, Pro-Markers, Bic Markits and SU pastels. The patterned paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl collection, and I stamped the main image on  SU Very Vanilla. The sentiment is from the A Muse "Essential Sentiments" set. I finished off the card with ruffled ribbon from Hobby Lobby and a button, and floss. Today I am playing along with a few challenges:

Another weekend has come and gone and Monday is here once again. I hope you had a nice weekend, mine went by much too fast!  Alrighty, today I am playing along with the Paper Pal Arts Weekly Color Challenge and the challenge this week was to use this color combination:

It's a pretty one isn't it? For my card I used a set from Technique Tuesday called "Spiro Garden" and the sentiment is from the SU set "Curly Cute".  The card stock and inks are all Stampin' Up! The ribbon is by Cosmo Cricket, and the pearls are by Martha Stewart. I used the SU scallop ribbon punch to add the borders, and the DSP is also by SU. I enjoyed working with this color combo and I will definitely use it again! Thank you for visiting my blog today and play along with this weeks challenge at Paper Pal Arts!
