Just Add Ink 200th Challenge Celebration

I was very lucky last week.  I happened to check my Feedly just about the same time Just Add Ink added their weekly challenge.  It's their 200th challenge!  It was lucky for me because they were looking for their 500th "like" on Facebook and their 800th blog follower and sending a little surprise to those readers.  I was the 500th "like!"  So, I just had to find time to do this challenge.  It's a great inspiration photo.


A scene like this would be so welcomed now.  I am so tired of the relentless snow and cold!  As luck would have it, I needed to make an anniversary card for my husband's brother and his wife, so this was a great jumping off point.


I used the sentiment from Petite Pairs along with Gingham Garden paper and washi tape.  I adhered the washi to a strip of paper to make my banner and stamped the washi with Stazon ink.  The leaves are wings from the Bird Punch.  The flowers and rhinestones are dollar bin finds.

It felt sooo good to make a card after a week off!  It's snowing again tonight...maybe no school tomorrow.  So, you never know, I may be home bound and making cards again tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by today!

    Great lattice and love the flowers with the bling in the middle. Sure it will be greatly appreciated. Sorry to hear about all the cold and snow. No snow here but the Arctic front has hit and it is chilly for us here on the West Coast!!

    Shelley this is a really lovely card - I love the subdued tones and how clever is your stamped Washi - I must try it myself! Congrats on being our 500th 'liker' and so glad you could play along with our Just Add Ink milestone challenge this week.

    It sounds like you're getting as much snow as we are getting heat waves down here in Australia. Crazy weather!
