Two Challenges

I'm having a great visit with my mom who is visiting from Nebraska for 3 weeks but I took some time today to make a card. I am playing along with the Makeup 4 the Weekend Challenge #44 and the JUGS 53 Challenge. The Makeup 4 the Weekend Challenge was an inspiration challenge this week and I used the colors and chain on the necklace as my inspiration. The layout is a pretty literal interpretation of the JUGS sketch for this week.

I used one of the flourishes in Paper Makeup Stamps Dream Big set. I stamped it using Adirondack Eggplant ink and then embossed it with A La Mode sparkle embossing powder. The shine doesn't show up very well in my photo. The ribbon may have been in one of my Paper Makeup kits...or it was a gift from my dd. I'm not very good at remembering those things. :)

I hope I "see" lots of you at the Paper Makeup Release Party on Thursday (October 7). Thanks for stopping by.

  7. hi Carma! this is a sweet card, I love how you made the swirlies sparkle :).

    The huge scalloped edge on my Flubu card is simply die cut paper. I bought a mini die cut paper pack from Bo Bunny and it just came that way. :) thanks so much for stopping by my blog! :)
