Hi everyone!
Here is my submission for Sharon's (notimetostamp) challenge, which was all about "pretties". She challenged us to make a card using things we consider pretty.
Here is what I LOVE on this card:
1. The paper: I just got this during the week at Michaels in a paper stack by Me & My Big Ideas...it reminds me of Polish pottery;
2. Red: I love anything red!!
3. Bling: These rhinestones have been in my craft room (affectionately called the Stamp Chalet) forever, I adhered them to the card with Tombow Multi
4. Ribbon: I love this wide SU grosgrain ribbon...I think it adds pop to any card
5. Kind Thoughts: I think this is my favorite set from the new catty...I just think it is so elegant.
Anyway...thanks for a great challenge Sharon and thanks so much for looking!! Jodi

WOW -- gorgeous, for sure!!! That paper truly is beautiful and I love how you used the red ribbon and your focal image -- the focal image goes so well with the paper -- compliments it perfectly!!! A wonderful card - so glad you used so many pretty things and played -- thanks!!! (if you change the keyword to 20 rather than 33, your card will show up in the challenge search with the others)
