Welcome to Wednesday, dear CCs. We're half way through the week and in a couple of clicks it'll be the weekend. Hurrah! Yes, I'm a glass half full kinda gal! On that optimistic note, I want to show you a card that I made for a friend. He wants to give it to his girlfriend of 14 years. I've often wondered - why not just get married? After all they've been together longer than some marriages. He always comes back with the same response: "What if she says NO?" I'd say his glass is almost empty!


For my card, I picked the sketch from
WMSC #105 and the colours from
Ribbon Reel #32 Sweet Sparkle photo inspiration.... delicious, yummy and making me very hungry. We are also encouraged to used the following: heart, sparkle and lace or ribbon. Here's my confection:
 |
| I'm using papers from Basic Grey's "Indian Summer" 6x6 pack. |
 |
| The sentiment is from WMS Compact Sentiment 2, stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate ink, heat embossed with Snowflake Sparkle EP and then I cut the whole thing out with Spellbinders Lacy Oval die. |
 |
| Over a row of white heart trim, I wrapped some sheer dusty pink ribbon and tied a bow. |
 |
| Come closer... can you see the sparkle on the sentiment? I also dotted the background papers with some Crustal Stickles. |
 |
| Kept the inside plain and simple.... for a change! |
Thanks for dropping in. I'm off to my friendly pastry shop to stuff my gob with something sweet, fluffy, creamy. Please don't mention calories or cavities ... I'm too old for both! Ta ta for now.
Beijinhos!
p.s. How about swinging by
MIM #98 for a trunk full of crafty goodies?
