Need some inspiration for your "Diamonds, Pearls, And Lace" project?  How about this cute card?

My card uses the image, AKV Ballerina - Ballerina 1, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used these fun plaid and spotted papers from my stash.  To keep with the theme, I used both lace and diamond like gems on my project.  The gems and swirls are from my stash.  The ruffly, girly pink lace is from Hobby Lobby.  I used a small piece of the lace and formed it to make a flower, and added a gem in the middle for the flower center.  The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with circle punches.  My card layout uses the Sketch at Sketch And Stash. I used a clearstar gelly roll pen to add glitter and sparkle to the ballerina's crown.

Gotta love this girly birthday card!

Spread Your Wings

My apologies for being late getting my post up.  Hubby and I went out to dinner and things last night and I didn't get it done before we went to bed.  Set the alarm to get up and get it done this morning before it went live and hubby turned the alarm off before I heard it - So I overlspet!

Anyway, here I am and.....

Here we are, with a new challenges at Catch The Bug! Our theme, this week, is "Things With Wings."  This one is always fun! I love working with winged images for some reason, so I had a blast with this one!  If you like things with wings, play along with us and take a chance at winning some awesome images from Bugaboo Stamps!

My project uses the image, Bugaboo Brats bugs - Girl ladybug, from Bugaboo Stamps. I used the sketch from Sassy Studio Designs as my card layout.  The paper lace doily is from my stash.  I cut it in half, then used ribbon and diamond stars for embellishing.  I've colored the image with Promarkers, and accented the matting with silver pearls. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and punched with circle punches. The purple panel is embossed with swirls, using the Cuttblebug. I sponged around the image, to make less white space.

I made this card for a friend, to give her stepmom for Mother's Day.
