Spoon Full of Sugar # 49 Blue and Green.......Oh Happy day!

Just a quick post this evening to show you this card that I have been working on a little bit every night for the last few nights. I wanted to play along with the challenge over at A Spoon full of Sugar again this week cuz I had so much fun with last week's sketch!

The Challenge this week is Green and Blue...well this colour combo always reminds me of a little saying my Mum would tell me when I was little "Blue and Green should never be seen except inside the washing machine", lol! I actually really like blue and Green together but I also I like red and pink together too and apparently that is another colour combo no-no, smile! Well, after I knew what colour combo I was going to use I went searching for a sketch. I just wasn't in the mood to come up with the card design either a bit lazy in fact, smile!

Well, I had no luck finding a sketch so then I got sidetracked and started blog hopping...I went and visited my blogging pal Kathy the Distressed Stampers!!! Well, I just fell in love with this stunning card! OMG!! It is so stunningly beautiful! I can't even tell you how long I just sat and stared at every little detail...absolutely brilliant! I just love it!!! So, I printed it and decided to use her fabulous card design as my sketch and inspiration for this card!!!!

Well, I am pretty happy with how mine turned out! Thanks Kathy for the fabulous inspiration!

I used some scraps of this BoBunny paper that I had left over from a scrapbooking page that I did last year and this new yummy American Craft ribbon that I picked up at Micheals! I cut the big label shape on my Silhouette and the "play circle label" is from Shabby Shoppe and I printed it on Kraft cardstock for a little different look!

I stamped Tilda and the butterfly on Prism Simply Smooth cardstock and coloured them with my Copics and added lots of Shimmerz! I also inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks Antique Linen and Scattered Staw and added the Melissa Frances rub-ons directly to the main image and the label on the inside of the card.

I finished my inside too...this card will going in my sale bin at work! I have raised $240 for The Canadian Hearing Society and I am so excited but my card pile is getting low! I would like to see if I can reach $300 by the end of May!!! I will have to get busy and make more cards,lol!!!

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! Now I am off to pack up all my crafty stuff as I am going to my friends house tomorrow for a girls scrapping, stamping cardmaking day and hope to make lots of cards!

Hugs,
