Kiss

I opened a box of brads yesterday and decided to make this kiss "card"  with the packaging! :) You may recall I did something similar back in March...This one's slightly bigger than the first one I did.  I love that I can add dimensional stuff in the "window"....so fun! :) 

Love these two little doggies from Basic Grey!:) I used the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You, EK success text stickers and embellishments from Gauche Alchemy's Banana Hammock Yellow Mixed Media Color Kit. :)

P/s: The stash challenge using ribbons and rub-ons is up over at Some Odd Girl challenge blog! Hope you come play along! :) And of course, there's my guest blogger Sparkle's challenge too! :)

Laughter is music to the soul

Laughter is music to the soul...so laugh away! :)

I made this card last night using the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You and taking inspiration from the Card Style Shabby Chic and Vintage Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I misted the base white cardstock with Maya Mist and inked the edges with distress ink I tore an edge of a piece of scrap paper and used a MS edge punch at the other end....then added a piece of washi tape right down the middle. A crochet doiley for a nice texture, some paper roses and rolled-up crepe paper with a vintage button. Heidi Grace pin. Fancy Pants sentiment (I think!).

Play

I love it when I play with colours on my creations. This bold purple cardstock has been sticking out like a sore thumb in my stack of cardstock (consisting mostly of white and cream these days because I'm so into misting!)...so I'm glad I was able to use it. Does it look weird? ;) Some felt spiral flowers and handstitching! :) The chipboard "Play" is from K & Co. 

What have you been playing with?
