Thank you....

Ok, this is my third, and final post today. For reals! The last card I made for the Paper Smooches Sparks DT Call. And since the rules stated that I could enter in the current Sparks challenge - Trend Watch: Stripes, that's what I'm doing also! Here's my card:

Ok, another loose interpretation of the picture. ☺ Other than the flowers and gray stripes, I did my own thing. I tried a new (to me) technique. I quilled flowers, using goodies that the amazing Jessi Fogan sent me. (Jess, I know these are very basic flowers, but I hope I did you proud!) I die cut the frame twice, from turquoise and white card stock. The bottom lines of the stamp are a bit off center from the top lines. I'm guessing due to space issues on the set. (Hey, there are a gazillion stamps in that set! In no way am I complaining!) No worries, I cut the stamp in half and realigned it before stamping on the white card stock. (Yes, you can totally cut your stamps - just be careful when doing that!) I die cut and second generation stamped the leaves, and glued everything down. I still felt it needed something, so I added a few rhinestones. Yep. That's better! Another sentiment finishes the inside.

Ok, I'm really done blogging now! LOL! Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you all have a great day and weekend! Stay crafty my friends!
