My blog group, Sweet Dreamers, had a challenge this week to make a card using the sentiment as the main focus- AND we weren't allowed to color anywhere on the card- YIKES! You know me- I just LOVE to color...what made it worse is that I was the one who made up the challenge!! Well, today was the deadline so here is a little card I threw together in about 5 minutes...it's simple but I think it turned out rather pretty.
The card base is Pretty in Pink with a layer of Cool Carribean. The patterned paper is Pretty Please "Polka Dot Pink" by My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is from an old SU retired stand-by "Lexicons of Love" stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto GP110 white. I sponged lightly around the edges using Cool Carribean ink. The ribbon is from Offray from the ribbon outlet, the flowers are Primas and the buttons in the center of the flowers are Pink Lemonade from Basic Gray. Whew- at least I beat the deadline!!!
