TSG46 - Laugh Often

Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to head to bed in a few, but thought I'd get my Wednesday post up a little early... Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Doing anything fun to celebrate the holiday?

Today's card was created for this week's There She Goes Challenge. Our challenge? To create a card based on sketch designed by fellow team member Danielle Lounds. Super cute sketch, right? I am obsessed with this My Mind's Eye paper right now, and also used a pearly Zva Creative flourish and some yummy May Arts teal twill. So fun!

Want to play along and enter for your chance to win a $5 gift certificate to the There She Goes store? All you have to do is upload your card to your blog or online gallery, and link your project using Mr. Linky on the TSG blog (be sure to use the code TSG46 if uploading your card to SCS).

Check out what some of the other Trendsetter's have created using Danielle's sketch:

Instructions:
  • Create cream A2 card base and ink edges with distress ink.
  • Cut 4 x 5 1/4" piece of polka dot patterned paper, ink edges and adhere to card base.
  • Cut 3 x 3 7/8" piece of floral patterned paper, ink edges and adhere to base.
  • Stamp leaf image in Versamark ink onto aqua CS, stamp sentiment, ink edges, and adhere.
  • Add strip of teal twill to card base, then layer with pearl flourish.
  • Stamp flower image with Memento Black ink, color with Copics, cut out and adhere with pop dots.
  • Embellish flower center with rhinestone.

Supplies:
Stamps - Flowers of Happiness
Paper - Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist, Stamper's Select White, My Mind's Eye "Quite Contrary"
Ink - Memento Black, Dark Chocolate, Versamark, Copics, Chamomile Tea Dye Ink
Miscellaneous - Zva Creative Pearl Flourish, Aqua Rhinestone, May Arts Teal Twill
