I had a bit of time to stamp for fun today! WooHoo! Of course, there are things around the house that I could have done, but I really needed to stamp!
This card is for Verve's VLVSep2010 Home Inspiration Sketch Challenge.
I am also doing The Corrosive Blog Challenge for the GUYS! This week we are make a card for the guys! Goodness that is so hard for me. I still added my fou fou bow and a butterfly. The butterfly is marine mist and only sports one gold pearl so I am thinking it can be a manly butterfly. The bow is brown? This is about as manly as I can get I am thinking. This card is also for Speedy the Cats Friend Challenge #18!
I like to cheat the nesties from time to time to get more bang for my buck. I am using the new lacey squares, but I needed a rectangle. So, I cut out two and pieced together. You really cannot tell and I think it looks great! Thrilled about this look!
