Blooms, Cupcakes and Scripture!

I had so much fun making this card...this is my of my fav color combos!!!
The sketch is from Stamps & Smiles...such a lovely sketch blog! I wanted to make a card to encourage a friend so I knew I would be using scripture, then I saw the Corrosive Challenge and their theme-to focus on words....perfect! I found two new (to me) challenges that I also wanted to incorporate; Paper Blooms had a delicious recipe to follow: Blooms, Bling, Butterfly, Brown and a "B" sentiment. How fun is that?!!! And talk about another delicious challenge...try the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge over @ Hope Stamps Eternal! As if cupcakes in and of themselves were not inspirational enough, Rachel shows us some magnificent ones to inspire our art! yum!
I tried to use as many decorative cuts on my card for my lovely friend Donna who choose that theme over @ the One Stop Craft Challenge! How'd I do Donna? {waving} The scallops are a MS punch, the swirl is sizzix, the circles are made with the Creative Memories cutting system and the 3-layer butterflies are also a MS punch! I used SU! dazzling diamonds for the bling, I love that stuff...wonder if you can buy it in bulk???? The blue DP is also SU! and the brown is from a bargain store. The scripture sentiment is SU! elegant inspirations stamp set! I hope you're having a great day. It was all rainy and windy yesterday and last night...today is a little dreary but the grass is such a bright green this morning and growing. It will soon be time to mow the lawn (which has a whole new meaning to me because of Allison F.) Enjoy your day! Many Blessings to you!!!
