'Life is not a dress rehearsal'. How true, we must try to make the most out of each day we have.
The card I have for you today is a pretty spring card that I was inspired to make by the 100th birthday challenge at fridaymashup.
They are having a special challenge this week where you can choose from any of their 100 challenges. This card I have made comes from challenge #21 which is to use the sketch, and use dry embossing. Here is the sketch
Here is my card:
I never think the cards look quite as stunning in the pictures as they do in person, but I really love this card. I have made it on a pink polka dot paper which is bought as a single from Michaels. The embossed sheets are both linen papers done with a cuttlebug embossing folder and I added little white pearls to add a touch of elegance. I made the flower with my Ultimate Creative Sampler Cartridge for my Cricut machine. I decided not to add a sentiment because I have someone in mind to give it to and didn't have the right words to put on it.
I think this little card though simple has a real spring like feel to it and a simple touch of class, I hope you like it too.
Besides entering it in the Friday Mashup I will also be entering this card in the following challenges:
