You Give My Heart Wings!

** Updated - This card made the Pink Elephant top 15.


Happy Wednesday! I had this new image from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff new Love Grows Here digital stamp set printed and sitting on my desk. I thought I would try shading (as much as you can do with Stampin' Up markers). While I was at it I thought I would try putting together some colors that I don't usually use or at least don't normally use together. This is what I came up with. My DD thinks that there should be more glitter and bling. What do you think?



My card also fits the following challenges:
Practical Scrappers - Embossing
Creative Inspirations Challenge - #43 New Year, New Products
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 87-Lots of Layering

Very pretty card! I think the button and ribbon are the perfect accent no need for anything else!

Joanne Gilch said...

First of all I think the card is amazing. However, how good would it be for your daughter's self esteem to let her see that she has good ideas, and what would a little bling hurt?

Leanne said...
