Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.
Here are the essentials:
- I used some scraps of Cherry on Top DSP (including the tag) and teamed them with some of the new Metallics Gold Glitter Tape.
- Stamp on your patterned paper...the black archival ink is perfect to get a bold stamped image over a busy background. I used the birthday sentiment from the Tin of Cards stamp set on my DSP tag.
- The cotton paper is fantastic for making flowers....I punched 12 flowers with the pansy punch and secured with a brad...just scrunch the layers until you get a flower!
- My card looked a bit naked even after I added the flower and ribbon so a scattering of sequins was in order. :)
Here is our sketch for this week:
