Usually I'm a little behind the curve....but not today! I took a stab at three, count 'em THREE! Paper Pal Arts, Mercy's Sketch Challenge and Color Throwdown.
Even though I've been following all of these for some time I believe it's my first time for the PPA and Color Throw Down! Imagine that. They really are FABULOUS challenges.
I really took my time on this card. I was in NO hurry to start my cleaning. So, instead of Clean & Simple I went full out! I stamped my image from Friends 24-7 and took some time masking off so I could sponge the bird's breast and the branch. I also sponged around the edge of my circle.I took a little more time stitch around the edge. I contemplated, "Zig Zag or no?" I went with a simple straight stitch.
The sentiments are from Lots of Thoughts. I simply cut them apart to be little tags. Instead of letting them hang loose, I did use my Glue Pen to fan out the sentiments but I didn't glue them down the the card.
So, now that I'm done, it's off to clean!
this is an adorable card, great job.....have a fantastic day!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors together and the perfect image for our challenge! Thanks for playing @PPA!
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty card shelley-and you covered 3 challenges with it-thats a big whoo-hoo!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Shelley! Love the way you fanned out and dangled the sentiments. Very clever! So -- still cleaning your stamp room? Mine stays messy, it seems. As soon as I straighten it up a bit, I'll make something and then it's back to disaster-land! Oh, well. I'm just not a neat creator.
ReplyDeleteso lovely, Shelley! That trio of tags is super smart:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful... and darling spring colors! The chocolate really pops! Great way to use your sentiment with a button... I hope your craft room is a "Clean Craft Cave" now!! Makes me inspired when I have a clean table to work on... Ha!
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking spring! Enjoy your weekend... BIG smiles! :)
