Because I Care and SSC 206








Good Evening everyone.  I have just a short post today as not so much is happening this week, so I will get right to my card.  I did this card for the Saturday Sketch Challenge over at Stamping 411 and I will make the deadline this week.

First, though I have to give credit to Sandi Mac Iver for her inspiration.  Sandi did her card in less than 10 minutes.  I likely tripled that time.

I love  Crumb Cake and Whisper White together. First I used the Very Vintage wheel with Crumb Cake Basic ink and wheeled away on Whisper White cs. The flowers were stamped with Crumb Cake Craft Ink and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and cut out with the handy dandy Paper Snips.  These snips are so great at getting into the small places. I sponged every where and added the speckled look with the Spritzer Tool and Pearls were strategically placed on the card front.

    Karen LOVE these colors and your take on it is spectacular. Love the white flowers with spritzes of crumb cake and the placement of the pearls on the flowers 'and' the papers is devine.
    PS: thanks for leaving a comment on my card too. hugs.
