I needed to make a card for a girl at work. She has been working in our office on contract and she just found out that she has been accepted into the Interpreter Internship Program...very exciting for her but means she will be leaving us soon. Well, I thought I would make her a card to congratulate her on this wonderful accomplishment and exciting new journey to furthering her career goal to becoming an interpreter. It was also a chance for me to play along with some of my favorite challenges!
I used the gorgeous sketch that they have over at Friday Sketchers and I'm also entering this card in the challenge at Just Magnolia...Acetate, the challenge over at Magnolia Down Under...easel card and the challenge at Cute card Thursday...Whateva!!!
The sketch called for a tag and so I used one of the many clothing tags that I keep and re-purposed it on this card. The cute flowers where on clearance and I think they were 25 cents for a package of 4. For the acetate I used QuicKutz Adhesive Clear Plastic Material and die cut the QuicKutz butterflies and then coated the adhesive side with Glamour Dust. The sentiments are from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
Thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card! I don't think I am going to get much house work done today either....just not in the mood...I hear my stamps calling me again,lol!
Hope you have a stampin' great day!
Hugs,

Wauw, what a pretty one! You used lovely papers and the flowers and butterflies are so nice.
O, I know what you're talking about. My windows are screeming at me that they want to be cleaned, but I pretend I don't hear it, lol.
Have a nice week!

So pretty and lovely card.
Great colours combo.
Absolutely gorgeous card T and this sweet Tilda is so cute! Fantastic colouring and design and I think your stamping around the image looks wonderful, great improvisation sweetie! The butterflies are so pretty and give a really dreamy quality to your card. I'm sure the girl at work is going to love your card and good luck to her on her internship, how exciting for her. Don't worry about the housework, it'll still be there tomorrow and the day after and the day after :D, playing with stamps is much better for you LOL! Hugs, Chris xxx
