which suited me as I had these papers on my desk ready to go away - how much better to be able to use them on a card - multi-tasking - love it!! This image is one of the ones my friend Sharon (aka*Doris*) sent me....another adorable hedgie - too cute to resist!!
I have chalked the hedgie and added some Kindy Glitz to the greenery in the basket and to the butterflies - which qualifies it for the Stampin.B Challenge:
The image is layered onto a pink Nestie (thanks to Melinda80) and I have paper pierced the edges and sponged them....I just love the effect sponging has - not that it is any surprise to anyone! LOL!
It was layered into embossed green CS with strips of torn and sponged DP added down the side. A Die Cut Swirl was added and layered flowers on top of that. I then added flowers with button brads and a sponged sentiment with mini pink pearls added.....I am thinking this is soft and sweet, with butterflies....so I am good in every department - no rules broken!!
Thank you for looking and for your comments, they are always so encouraging!! I hope you enjoyed your weekend...it is Monday here....the kids are back to school and it is very quiet...a bit strange after 3 weeks of noise, but lovely all the same!!!

Linda, you are really evolving card by card my friend. I just LOVE this - the details are exquisite and that image is SO CUTE! Your sponging is always spot on and I love the button brads, pearls, torn layers, flowers - the list goes on. Most of all, I LOVE that so much of YOU is in each card and that is like icing on the cake my friend!!! Keep on posting your beautiful work!! TFS!!

OOpps, on with the ANTI-P I N K goggles. Oh, how beautiful and delicate! Linda your work is stunning. I think the time you spent making all those cards for the different shops has done some good as your cards lately have been one outstanding creation after another!!!! Can't say which is more breathtaking!!!
