Looking forward to tomorrow and getting out of the house for awhile. My grandsons will be playing little league football in the afternoon. It's supposed to be sunny and 80 degrees. That's perfect for an afternoon outing.
Well onto my card for today. This is another one that I made for the "hope you can cling to" challenges on Splitcoaststampers. They are running all month long and there are lots of prizes. So check it out and join in. Here is the link for the info.
This is also the card I made for Friday's free for all challenge. Jeanne was our hostess and she wanted us to make our own background.
For my background I used the hero arts stamp "raindrops and swirls". I embossed it then I sponged the background with pink pirouette and pretty in pink ink-for an embossed resist technique.
My sweet pink birds & sentiment are from the "one of a kind" set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
I colored the birds with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The sentiment was stamped in chocolate chip ink and punched with the Martha Stewart tag punch.
To finish the card I used chocolate chip satin ribbon and layered pink satin on top of that. Tied my bow and that completed this card. I used chocolate chip as my neutral color because brown represents comfort.
That's it for this post my blogger friends. So until next time.........God bless
