perfect pair

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It's time for another Creative Belli challenge.

The idea behind the Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments!

Challenge #109 is the letter P...


This could be anything that begins with a P -paper bag album, pink, purple, poppies, puppies, paper clips, patterned paper, paint, etc...

Everyone is welcome to play along!  If you upload to a gallery use keyword CBC109.

For my card I decided to go with the "perfect pair" and use pear images. I thought this would be a great anniversary card.

For the pear images I pulled out some old Stampin-Up rub-ons "bright delights", some retired designer paper, "good morning sunshine" and some retired card stock "kiwi kiss". After all this is what the belli challenges are about-using up the old.
My layout is this weeks sketch #174  from the mojomonday blog.

I computer generated my "perfect pair" sentiment. I added some seam binding as ribbon treatment and used a spellbinders lacy die and that completed my card.

Don't forget to drop by the Belli Blog to check out what the rest of the design team has created. There is some serious talent on this team!!

I am also entering this card in a few other challenges:

1.  Top Tip Tuesday has an "all sentimental" challenge.

2.  Oldie but a goodie blog is looking for bright and cheerful.

Until next time.......

card recipe:
paper: su choc chip, kiwi kiss, very vanilla, dsp
accessories: su rub-ons, seam binding, spellbinders lacy squares, circle punches
