I used all Paper Temptress card stock and especially fell in love with the Cocoa Crepe (Cocoa Ruge) and Laser Silver Lustre card stock. The ruge card stock has so much beautiful texture and the silver lustre card stock is shiny with stripes. I made a matching bookmark to highlight the image and gorgeous card stock. I also have matching ribbon from them to coordinate with the colors on the card. You can't ask for more than that!
This is a 5 x 5 square card using a lot of dimensionals for a 3-D effect. The bookmark was not layered much so it would lay flat in a book.
Thanks to Anne Ryan for the turquoise gem stamp pad as I didn't have any pads the exact colors to match the card stock, so I owe ya!
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to visit and have a wonderful week!!

Whoa, Fruitcake, I do believe you really focused today for this sketch. That's a lot of work and you've also added a bookmark. Yikes, wont Priscilla be so pleased so see this in the gallery! Love all your colors together. Your panels are perfectly aligned and look smashing behind your adorable image. See, see what happens when you stay focused!

Pam, I couldn't show you up if I tried! I LOVE this card. I recognise the SMC image right off. They are so cute and fun to play with. The pink and blue make it a perfect baby card. The tag is adorable too.

Hi Pamzi..well, where so I start.. You have really made a wonderful set here. I love how you worked the sketch this week. You have fit everything in so nicely. I had a harder time with that, but you managed to do it perfectly. You even added the ribbon and rhinestones which really finish it off. Your cute image from Sew Many Cards is awesome and I love how you glazed the balloons. Your yummy papers are devine as well. Thank you for always being such a strong DT memeber.. what would we do with out sweet Pamzi ;)

I love this card - so cute and so fun! I actually tried the sketch this weekend and the bg rectangles really did me in. I hated my end result and didn't load it. I put it in my willing to sell or give away cards and my boss took it right away. She said she loved it, but I really hated it. After looking at your card, I see what I did wrong - I had the spacing all off. Love all your sparkle and bling, and I will be doing another card for this challenge this weekend.

Hey Pamzi:
How long is it taking you to make your cards these days!!! ahahahaha!!!! You have so much luscious details in the fascinating creation I can't take my eyes off of it. And you are playing up to Priscilla to take over the favorite position with adding a bookmark to this lovely duet!! The flowers and bling are perfect and I love the ribbon in the corners. This is just amazing!!!
You should hop in your car and come over today-just for a laugh of my crafting area. Looks like a bomb went off. I am in the middle of making a project that I think might take me 3 days!!!!
Great card. I absolutely love it!!
