Purrr-fect bird-day!

Hello All!

I just about forgot my Saturday post for Really Reasonable Ribbon! I am in the middle of a garage sale this weekend and have been crazy busy! The card has been done for some time. I submitted it for a special project book that I am a part of, but it was not accepted. OK, everybody all at once say....awwwwww. It is OK though because 5 others were! woot woot! I can't wait until I can give you more details!

All evening long I kept thinking  that I was forgetting something. Sure enough...when it was time to hit the hay...it came to me!

Luckily, pictures had been taken and watermarks loaded! I even had a card recipe already done! LOL!

I used the adorable "Inky Antics" stamp called "Kitty Pair Square".

It was colored with watercolors then cut out and popped a few times for added dimension.

The DP is from Basic Grey's "Sugar Rush" and that pretty green cardstock is The Paper Temptress's "Spring Larch" glimmer paper.

The finishing touch is of course that beautiful organza from Really Reasonable Ribbon! I used  mauve and aqua, both in 5/8" width.

My tip for today is to use 2 different colors of organza together for making your bow. I just love the effect it gives!

"A Little Birdie Told Us...

Hello All,

Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby on a shopping spree last weekend as an extension of my Christmas and I went a little crazy! These pretty incandescent/metallic papers are from "The Paper Studio" they are normally $1.99 a sheet but were on sale for 50% off! Needless to say.....I had to get lots since they were on sale! Right girls? ;)

The "Crystal Domes" ( pink sparkly half pearls) are new too.

The CS is Stampin' Up and the DP is K&Company's "Wild Raspberry".

The stamp is from "Inky Antics"". I bought it when I first started stamping and painted it in multiples... some of which got thrown in a craft drawer. One of my resolutions is to use some of my already colored images up! ;)

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

ABC - "L" is for...Layering

Got Layers!
