Artful Delight Friday - I'm here for you


This is my take on July's Artful Delight sketch.

I have to say I love the fact that the kit includes stamps, this month we got Lawn Fawn's Flutter By set, so pretty, and I put it to good use on this card.

The images were stamped in Versafine and then colored using my water brush. 

The sentiment is from another Lawn Fawn stamp that I had (On the Mend).  I wanted the sentiment to fit on the vellum strip, so I needed a slightly smaller one. 

There are ton of different embellishments in this kit, I'm using the green sequins, the doily, and the black and white twine on this card, but there is SO much more in the kit!  I added some itty bitty pearls into the centers of the green sequins to soften the look a bit.



Hope that you are having a great end to your week.  The girls are sleeping over at my parents tonight so we can move Carina into Ellie's room and make Carina's room a play room.  This is either going to be the best or worst idea ever.....

Supplies Used:  Artful Delight July Card Kit; Lawn Fawn - On the Mend; Versafine; Versamark; CTMH - Topiary, Hollyhock and Honey inks, Bitty Pearls, Black Embossing Powder, Dimensional Foam Tape, and Liquid Glass; Recollections - Vellum; Tombow - Mono and Vellum Adhesive

  7. Hello, Miriam! Came to see what I missed while I was away! I think this one right here is my favorite. Love how those pretty flowers fill up the doily...and the sequins are such a pretty touch scattered about! Everything else is pretty wonderful, too, though...other favorites are the 'tired of texting' card...such a great design...and the Kindergarten album...adorable!!! I'll try to keep up now, with a bit more time on my hands...but MAN...I've got a lot of others to catch up with! I've enjoyed all the inspiration here, though, so THANKS for sharing it all!
