You are the Joy in my Day....

I know, I know....another post in the same day?!  I have too much to post this week, and not enough time!!  So, with that said...if you are looking for my Skipping Stones Design post and wanting to win FREE STAMPS, then either scroll down a bit after you check this post out, or CLICK HERE. 

My second card today is one I created for Stamper's Dream.  It also is my card for CPS Sketch #206 {which you are totally getting an early preview of because it won't be on the CPS blog until later this week}, and I used the color challenge CR84FN16 {light pink, medium violet, gray}.  I added a neutral via vintage cream to make the card come together for me!! Here is what I created:

  "You are the Joy in my Day..." supplies: 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (purple) & Papertrey Ink (vintage cream) 

Paper: My Mind's Eye (Lush: Pink Floral, Pink Houndstooth) 

Stamps: JustRite Stampers (Wedding Nested Sentiments set)

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: sky gray) 

Chipboard: Tattered Angels

Ribbon: Michael's 

Flowers: Prima

Pearls: Kaiser Craft

Glitter: DecoArt

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Diecut/Embossing Machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft 

Steel Die: JustRite custom die by Spellbinders (Nested Frame set)

Instructions:  Fold purple cardstock in half to make card base, then round the top left and bottom right corners.  Cut pink floral paper slightly smaller, round the same corners and adhere to the front.  Cut a vintage cream cardstock block, round the same corners, and adhere to the lower right.  Cover a cream chipboard frame with glitter and cover the back with pink dotted paper.  Add a strip of ribbon to the right side of the card, and layer the chipboard piece over top of the ribbon end.  Tie a bow where the ribbon meets the cream cardstock.  Stamp the sentiment to cream cardstock, then diecut and emboss the label around it.  Adhere the sentiment label to the glittered chipboard frame, and accent with purple pearls.  Accent the middle of the bow and the chipboard frame with purple flowers to finish the card. 

Can I just tell you how much I love that sentiment?  And paired with the softness of the colors....{sigh}.  It just warms my heart a little.  Speaking of...I think I am going to go make a cup of hot cocoa and get a few more projects done.  It is snowing, yet again...and I am feeling a little chilly.  Might be time to throw on a sweatshirt too.  I hope your day has been going well!! ♥♥♥ 

Until later,
