A Little Paisley, a Little Flocking…

OK…I’ll admit it…I just can’t get it done. I’ve been sick the most of the past two weeks and have been trying to keep up but have been getting further and further behind. You know how it is with being a mom. I had hoped to post a {C’est Bon} entry today but as one of my little guys is now sick too…it is just going to have to wait another day. I DID have this entry all written up though for tomorrow’s post and so…I’m just going to swap them! I WILL get the other post done by then! :) Thanks for your patience and thanks so much for your support and stopping by my blog.

Yummmm…pink paisley and pink flocking. I just couldn’t resist pairing up these two supplies with this beautiful flourished stamp from Kitchen Sink Stamps. The stamp is so fun and the name of the set, Thanks With Style, says it all. This set has some fun hip attitude.

Thanks for All You Do


I just love this pink paisley patterned paper by My Mind’s Eye. Well actually, I adore any paper by My Mind’s Eye but this one is one of my faves. Love the fun pink, brown and what IS that cool color of electric yellow called?! Somewhere between lemon and lime…it is so much fun. I didn’t try matching it up as I just knew it wouldn’t be easy to find matching cardstock. It IS on the reverse side of this beautiful paper…just wish I’d had more of it to use!

I kept the design super simple with all that was going on in the flourishes, flocking and busy paper. Matting is with Chocolate Chip cardstock amd stitching it to my 5.25″ square whisper white card front was all that was needed. For the main sentiment, I stamped my image with the Essential Glue pad and then covered it with my fun bright pink Stampendous Flocking. The look of flocking is so hot right and and is so fun to do. I also used the little for all you do stamp from the set by stamping it in Pink Passion ink and adding a little Making Memories gemstone for a fun bit of bling. My last addition was a gorgeous bright pink felt Prima flower pierced with a Fancy Pants Harvest Pin purchased from my local scrapbooking store.

Wishing you a fabulous Sunday and great week to come!

    Great card, Julia! I hope you are all feeling better soon. I completely understand the pressure you feel to post, but if you miss a day, the world WILL NOT stop turning, and your fans (like me) will certainly understand. So give yourself a break! Okay?
