So yesterday it got up to 40 degrees here in NW Missouri and right now it is 18 with a wind chill of 7! Gotta love crazy Missouri weather right? And tomorrow we are in for another snowstorm of 4-7 inches! Oh my! I am hoping we at least go to school tomorrow to get in a half day! I am tired of my lesson plans looking like football plays with all the x's and lines drawn everywhere! I am previewing two new books for my kiddos though, Sisters Grimm which is a series - I love series! I get very attached to characters! Some of my faves are Harry Potter and Percy Jackson for kids and Twilight and Shopaholic for older. And the other one is Granny Torelli Makes Soup - so if you know anything about these books, have comments, opinions, resources etc. please feel free to share!
And enough about work, onto today's card:
this is for the Viva la Verve challenge and it stretched me a bit!
It is a long skinny card - usually I just do standard and square so that was a challenge and then I didn't have rhinestones to match, which I was able to remedy by coloring some clear ones with my Adirondack alcohol markers!!!! I don't have that much Verve so I used Donna Downy for Unity for the stamps. The butterfly I cut and layered using my cricut. If you look closely you can see I glittered the butterfly up with rock candy stickles. Thanks for looking!

I really like the DSP on this card. Very springy and pretty. Very pretty card. Wish the weather matched. :) No one at my house as read the books you are starting so let me know if they are good and worth reading. Always looking for new reading material.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like it!
ReplyDeleteHaven't read either book....
Very pretty card. I like the lavender, green and yellow together. Pretty and springy. Is springy a word?
ReplyDeletegood way to improve with the rhinestones and I love the different look of a long card!
ReplyDeletePretty card Tessa! I like the different shape and the glittered butterfly.
