This card qualifies for 2 challenges, the first being the Sketch Challenge, which was a lot of fun to work with - thank you Roxie!!! The second is the Flourishes Challenge for the launch of their new stamp sets...
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this paper that I got for my birthday, it is black and creme, flocked and fabulous - even better I have a whole pad of it - YAY! It has become my all time favourite (until I discover something else!!) The Nestibilities are from a RAK from the lovely Kathy (aka Wattle) and I have had fun using them...the butterflies are from our very own Lesley (aka Marleygo) If it wasn't for the generous hearts of stampers my supplies would be very limited and BORING - so thank you one and all!!!
For my embellishments I use some jewellrey clasps to join the ribbon and attached the heart padlock to that...I picked these up in a local thrift store for 27c for 1 dozen and knew I would find a use for them, the photo really doesn't show them off properly!!!
I have sponged every edge on this card, it seems I am on a 'run' of sponging, but I just love it's effect - what do you think?!?!
Thank you for looking, your comments are always kind and encouraging - always giving me a 'buzz'!!

Linda~ worth every mniute! The sponging really adds detail and interest against that gorgeous flocked paper! OMGoodness, I *love* flocked anything- and your DP is delish! The butterflies are the perfect addition, and the jewlery clasp is genius. I love how your mind works- you use everything! Completely beautiful sistah!
