For my card, I pulled out the newly released Blue Skies set and some pretty papers from The Girls' Paperie. I stamped the You Make Me Smile sentiment on the yellow gingham circle, then matted with chocolate chip and added some yellow liquid pearls for some pizazz. Some days I just feel I need a little pizazz, you know what I mean? Next I stamped the notebook paper from Blue skies in Brushed Corduroy then stamped the flourish in pink pirouette on the paper. I trimmed this out and matted on chocolate as well. I subsituted a butterfly for the star shape in the mojo sketch, and this is the larger one from Blue Skies, which I stamped directly onto patterned paper, cut out and added a few chocolate pearls for its body. I also stamped the flourish with a little Shabby Shutters ink on the green polka dot paper to balance things out.
To finish things off, I added a little punched border, some May Arts pink ruffled ribbon, more liquid pearls and hand stitched a few coordinating buttons onto the card. The finished card is 4.25" square so it'll fit inside a normal A2 envelope. Okay, that's all for me. I've got to get back to shipping orders. :) Hope you have a fantastic start to your week!
