Good Morning. I am sitting here, enjoying some hot cocoa. It's just me and my 2 year old daughter today. I want to spend some time with her so this will be brief. Yesterday we all enjoyed a snow day. Temps got below -20 so they canceled school...hooray! We had fun just hanging out. Today the kids are back to school and the house is quiet again. I usually babysit two or three little ones during the week, so a quiet house is odd. It just worked out that today I didn't have any little ones to babysit. So now it's just me and my daughter. Time for some quality time.
Today I entered two challenges...although I think one of them might be a stretch. What I mean by that is I don't know if I officially qualify for the Limited Supplies Challenge at SCS. The challenge was to use a star in my creation. I thought the little sparkles in this designer paper looked like stars. I was to limit the layers and only use ribbon. Well, I used gemstones. The card just needed some more pink! I hope that doesn't disqualify me:)
My next challenge was at Treehouse Stamps Thursday Challenge #027. This challenge simply said to make a tag. I just decided to add a tag to this card. The card is pretty simple, but quick and easy. I like that:)
The details: The base layer of the card is made with SU! Whisper white cardstock. The designer paper is Holiday Lounge from SU!. The stamp for the tag is from PTI called Vintage Labels. I stamped it using Tempting Turquoise ink. I actually cut around the stamped image instead of using my nesties die. (I was in a hurry and I couldn't get to my die cutting machine at the time.) The sentiment is stamped with StazON with the SU! Warm Words stamp set. I cut out the tree from the designer paper and added a tiny gem from Hero Arts. Then I used a corner rounder tool to round the corners at the top. The pink gemstones are from PTI and the ribbon is Pink Pirouette from SU!.
Well, my daughter is sitting on my lap waiting for me to finish so I must go. Thanks for stopping by!!
What simple but cute card. Love the tag. I hope you join us next week at The Treehosue. Thanks Gloria M.
