Today I am sharing a card made with much love for a challenge but I ran out of time to get it photographed and posted before I went out of town on a trip. Have YOU ever thought you could accomplish much more than you actually could?!? Please tell me I’m not alone!
Measurements:
- White Card Base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Details:
- I’ve combined a bit of old and new with this card. This DSP by Stampin’ Up! – oh my goodness – I can’t even tell you how pretty I think it is! It’s a bit funny to me now because when I first started with Stampin’ Up!, I did NOT care for the color Red Riding Hood at all. But when paired with Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss, it is just YUMMY!!
- I adore the sketch this week and ventured outside of my SU supplies to use this wonderful curved edge die by MFT Stamps.
- I stamped the sentiment in Riding Hood Red, and then used the coordinating die to cut out a mat around it. I then cut out another mat in Kiwi Kiss, cut it in half horizontally and added it as a second mat.
- I fussed for a bit before settling on adding these delightful butterflies, die cut from the long retired Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die. I do so love combining old and new!
- The gems I added are from Honeybee Stamps – I have discovered that they have a fun assortment of colored rhinestones!!
- For the inside I layered a scalloped die cut on top of a mat of Riding Hood Red, with a pretty scrap of the Bella Rose DSP and a very simple sentiment.
I had so much fun making this card!! I know it is very late for the challenge it was created for, but here is the sketch I used and thank you to the FMS design team for always providing such wonderful inspiration!
Blessing to You!!

Now that’s screaming spring! Love the contrast of the check and then the flowers, and then the inside is so sweet and simple. Great card!
Love this card! So many layers of wonderful color and design. Your attention to detail is amazing! Great interpretation! It would have my vote for design challenge winner!!💐💐
As always, Shannon, beautiful! We are so much alike. After each session of holiday cards or service projects, I love to dig into all of my old stuff and mix and match! So fun!
