Make It Monday #202 and Simon Says Monday challange


       Make It Monday #202: Anchoring With Border and Banner Dies

                    Simon Says Monday Challenge: No Rules.

                               Here is the card that I did for both of these challenges.


 
 
I was inspired by the design paper with it's light green and pink. I did sponge some Spun Sugar on it to enhance the pink. Then I sponged some white paper with Bundled Sage and stamped the script with dark chocolate ink.  Next I die cut the stars with a die, Sketched Stars.  I think that I will use this negative on another card.  Never throw anything away!  The doily was a gift from a friend and it was sponged with the green too. To make a banner, I die cut the stars with a die called Dangled Stars, but I used the negative and cut it into a banner for this card.  To attached it all, I used a wooden star (friend gift) colored with copic marker and pink pearls. 
The sentiment is from Newton's Nook


These colors are so dreamy and yummy.  I often love the cards that other make using soft colors like these. 
Here is what I used for this card.
Jodie Lee Nature Garden 6x6 paper
GKD card stock in Fresh Asparagus and White, GKD ink Dark Chocolate
Distressed inks in Spun Sugar and Bundled Sage
Dies, PTI Sketched Stars and Dangled Stars
Sentiment from Newton's Nook, Love a la Carte

I will be entering this card in both of these challenges with week. 
Thanks for stopping in to see what I am doing this week.  I will be packing up in a day or two.  We will leave this warm, wonderful place where I have made my home for the last 7 weeks.  Back home to family and friends.  I think there is some bad weather expected on Sunday, so we will leave earlier than originally planned.  Don't want to drive in that stuff if we don't have to.

Have a fun creative week, thanks to all of you for the wonderful comments that you leave.
