Happy Friday! Can you believe that half the month is over, already? I still have Christmas to put away! Anyway, my January KOM has arrived from Unity, and since it is too darn cold to do much else, I have been creating in my stamp room. Here is my
Friends with Flair post for this week.
There are some gorgeous stamps this month, and if you are not a Kit member, you should check out the details.
I found a piece of script paper in my stash, cut it down, roughed the edges, and sponged it. Next I stamped my flower image in Memento ink, colored it with Copic markers, and used Glossy Accents on the centers. For my Sentiment, I stamped on vellum and quickly clear embossed. The vellum was not showing well, so I backed it with a piece of oak tag card, wrapped it with brown twine, and added a flower from the original stamp. Everything was put onto a kraft base.
I added a couple of punched hearts, and a butterfly sequins as an embellishment. I threaded the sequins with pink twine and added a pearl head.
The inside sentiment, was a single stamp I received from a Unity grab bag.
I would also like to add this as my 3rd and final entry in
Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3, which is for never before used schtuff. Lots of it here... stamps, paper, sequins.... all new!
You never know..... I may be back! Thanks for the visit!

Beautiful, Mary Anne! Your card is just so pretty. Stamping on patterned paper is always so much fun. Loving that teensy butterfly too! Gosh, I need to see if I have any Unity stamps and play along!!! You inspire me every Friday to do so. Maybe soon??? Hugs...

This is just simply fabulous and creative!
Love the script paper! This is so pretty Mary Anne! The flowers and butterfly are so delicate. I like how you added the gems to your flowers.
Terrific sentiment on this. Don't you love it when you HAVE to stay inside and craft when it's so cold outside (I do!). :)
You have outdid and outdone yourself with this glorious card, Mary Anne! I eyeballed it for several minutes, drinking in all those sweet details. I especially like the sweet butterfly landing on your heart duets, making them look like pretty pink heart flowers!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3 three times!! I hope you're having a great week! Hugs, Darnell
