Pearls and Lace at Sentimental Sundays


Welcome back everyone!  I hope you have been enjoying your weekend - I sure have.  The weather still hasn't improved much but it's supposed to warm up by the end of the week so I am hopeful.  :)

This week's challenge over at Sentimental Sundays is one that kind of made me step out of my box a bit.  The challenge is to use Pearls and Lace on your creation...the pearls part I was OK with but the lace part???  Not so much.  OH - don't forget your sentiment!

I found a couple of new-to-me challenges that I could combine for my card.  The first one is from the Utah Divas International Challenge blog and this week's challenge is a color challenge...my favorite kind.  :)


I bought some new Copics a few months back from LSL Diversified and was extremely pleased with the service and the prices...and they are Canadian!  What I didn't know is that they also have a sketch challenge blog where the challenge runs for a whole month - that gives everyone a LOT of time to play along.  :)  Here's the sketch for March:


And my finished card:

Stamps: Because I Care (SU!)  Ink: Rich Razzleberry  Paper: Whisper White, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Perfect Plum, Basic Grey  Accessories: 3D Flowers Die, adhesive pearls, Nesties, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Leafy Branch embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit

I hope you will join us for this week's challenge and here's my personal challenge to you:  Try and find a new-to-you challenge this week.  There are so many challenges popping up out there and it's always fun to try something new. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and here's to a great week ahead.
