Here's the sketch:

Here's my creation:

Yep, I used some new goodies again! The violets set from PTI & some fun October Afternoon paper....love it!!

EBTKS Challenge - Wrapping Paper (take two)

Here's another card for the current Everything But the Kitchen Sink challenge - use wrapping paper on your card.

I bought this fun wrapping paper last year at Hallmark - I love that it is double-sided!! One side is polka dot and the other is a fabulous zebra print!! Plus the colors are just fabulous (in my book!!) - brown, blue, teal, olive, white....ahhh!!


Well, I'm off for some sleep! Hope you're staying warm :)

Stamps - Happiness Messages (Hero Arts)
Ink - Chocolate Chip (SU!)

EBTKS Challenge 6 - Wrapping Paper

I love the most recent EBTKS challenge - use wrapping paper on a card. The girls come up with the best challenges, so I couldn't wait to play along even though I'm just getting to it on the final day of the challenge. I've been busy shoveling snow, adding some caulking and insulation inside my house, shoveling snow, returning to school, and shoveling snow. In fact, we have about 18 inches of snow here (and it's still snowing). While I've seen enough snow, I feel so fortunate that I have a job that is delayed or cancelled when the roads get dicey. okay enough already, on to the card:

I used some left over Martha Stewart embossed wrapping paper. I had the smallest amount left on the roll that I couldn't part with....I'm so glad that I didn't now :) I created the little posie from punching a bunch of flowers from a return envelope of one of my bills. I love the pattern - doesn't it look great w/the embossed pattern of the wrapping paper!!

I found some other really fun wrapping paper, so I might whip up another card for the challenge! Stay tuned :)
