A CHALLENGING Weekend! Ha!

I crack myself up sometimes... A challenging weekend! I have worked on three challenges this weekend, the first of course being the Limelight Papercrafts sketch and product challenge! There is still time for YOU to play along and create a card using some ribbon scraps and the sketch. I will choose a participant at random tomorrow morning, and that person will win an assortment of ten yards of ribbon! CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS!!

I created this card for Taylor's Cupcake challenge #34. I put the main image to the right of the panel of patterned paper, though, and I did not do any stitching because of the darkness of my papers! I absolutely adore this tree by justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet. It's called Kelly's Tree, and I think it is SO super cute! I paper pieced the tree using the same Spooky patterned papers that are used in the background. The papers are double-sided, and I actually used all four sides on this card!
Stamps: Kelly's Tree. Paper: Groovy Grape DoubleMates, GP White, Pebbles, Inc. Spooky Circles/Black Swirls and Spooky Stripes/Orange Dots. Ink: Palette Noir. Accessories: Raven Tulle.


I made this card for Lauren's Saturday Sketch. What a FUN sketch! I love all the layers! I love the finished look to this card! I had fun using the Apple Cider DP from last year's SU! patterned paper collection. I LOVE making curlies with super-thin strips of cardstock! See the curlies on the pumpkin stems?!? LOVE that! So fun! Just cut a thin strip and wrap it around something like a straight pin to get it to curl!
