Hope You Can Cling To Challenge 4






Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. This is a quick post today. I had some emergency dental work done today and my mouth is throbbing. Plus I want to finish this in time to watch the Presidential debate tonight.

My card is another that I made for the Hope You Can Cling to Challenges on Splitcoaststampers. More info on those here. This is challenge 4 and Victoria is our hostess. She wants us to use strips of paper to anchor our focal image.


My 5 background strips are done with Stampin-Up blushing bride designer paper.
My focal image is from the Stampin-Up "fresh vintage" stamp set. I used blushing bride and pear pizzazz markers to color the flowers. Mounted this on some early espresso cardstock.

I added some blushing bride ribbon to this layer. To complete my card I cut a flag pennant and used a sentiment from the Stampin-Up "kind and caring thoughts" set.

On the inside of the card I stamped the rest of the sentiment----"you're many things but most of all you're loved".

My layout is an older MojoMonday sketch #229.

That's my card for this challenge. Time to close this post. So until next time.........God bless.

Some other challenges:
1.  Deep Ocean Challenge blog has any anything goes.
2.  Cards by Lady Anne has an anything goes challenge.
3.  Eclectic Ellapu has an anything goes challenge.

  6. Oh Mary, hope your feeling better quick. Dental work is no fun and I always keep the ibuprophen bottle close as it seems to help a lot better than any pain pills.
    Your card is fabulous! Pinks and greens are a special favorite of mine.
