Sketchy Birthday with Bling

Today was an absolutely miserable day in southcentral Alaska. We're having VERY unusual weather and the temp at my house hit 95 degrees (our normal temp this time of year is 65-70 degrees)....yes, outside temp for Alaska. So I did what any good Alaskan who hates the heat does, I sat in my dark  craft area with the fans going and stamped! :)

Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps and the bling challenge from The Paper Players. Adding bling is really hard for me, I'm not really a "bling" person, so I hope adding the pearls counts! If not I'll try again :)

The sentiment was cut out and popped up with dimensionals and the main image panel is also popped up with dimensionals. I tried to leave the left hand side of the card blank like in the sketch but I just needed a little something over that way, hence the addition of the butterfly(with more pearls for bling).



Supplies used (all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Apothecary Art

Ink: Black StazOn, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Accessories: Watercolor Crayons, butterfly already cut and in my stash, Big Shot, Framelits Labels Collection, Basic Pearls, Blender Pen, sponge, dimensionals

  4. Very pretty! You've colored this beautifully. Hope your heat wave is over. It shouldn't be warmer in Alaska than it is here in Texas -- something's just not right with that picture! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players this week!
