Enjoy Life!

Hi! Hope everyone had a great day today. I know I'm late in posting, but you know how that goes sometimes :)


I made this card for a challenge (I know you're surprised at that one :) - and before I get started talking about this card, I want to tell you that a new challenge has been posted to the 2RedBananas blog with a prize involved :)

Okay, to the card..... the challenge is a color challenge and I had to use Stampin Up colors kraft, Not Quite Navy, and Baja Breeze or Sage Shadow. Well, I don't have any Stampin Up paper, but I do have some of their inks and this time I lucked out because I have Not Quite Navy and Sage Shadow. I also used a very fun tool that was new to me, Sponge Daubers by Tsukineko.
I started with a kraft card base and then used the sponge daubers dabbed into the Sage Shadow ink to make the polka dots on the base of the card (then I washed the ink right out of the dauber so I can use it for other inks, not sure how this will work for all inks, but it works for this one). I stamped the Stampendous flower with Not Quite Navy ink onto kraft cardstock and then used the dauber dabbed in Not Quite Navy to sponge some ink from the center of the flower out, worked like a charm. I matted the flower image on sage cardstock and then a Not Quite Navy substitute in Bazzill. I stamped "enjoy life" by StampingBella in the navy ink and then tied the ribbon and used pop-dots to adhere the flower image. To finish it, I HAD to add dew drops from the water collection. I don't know if I've ever shared this, but I always use mini glue dots to adhere my dew drops, they are perfect for them.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great night!
