       Good morning my lovelies, Pinquette Mary here with a card using the extremely beautiful Angel stick pin from Pinque Peacock. These happen to be a personal favorite of mine and I can always find a wonderful use for them. Today I used it to make a very special card for my grand daughter. Let's take a look shall we:

     That's right Mia will be receiving her First Communion in a few weeks and she loves purple. I also love the Inspired Heart cartridge for my Cricut when I look for anything religious. I cut this at 5 1/2" because I wanted to add some embellishments and details. The card base is 5"x10" so this was a perfect size to use.

     The background cardstock is Mercury glass that I picked up @ Christmas but never had a chance to use. It really helps the girl stand out. For the veil I cut a tule circle in 1/8th to make it small enough for the girl. I gathered it up with some invisible thread so the stitching would not show. I also added a small piece of ribbon for the dress tie and finished with some stickles for the dress and sleeves.

     I used some pearls to give her a sweet pearl necklace and a few rhinestones to her veil for some bling.

     The flower is a mulberry one that I so I just added some glimmer spray to tie it in with the paper and also to show off my stick pin. I just happened to have this beautiful Angel with a purple bead! Usually I also add some 3 Girl Jam ribbon on my cards but this time I really wanted to have the stick pin show off as a focal point.

     I didn't want this to be too plain so I used a corner punch for the right hand top and bottom of the card and added some pearls to the Left corner for balance to off set the flower and stick pin.

The saying is a stamp I have had for a while and decided to layer it with a scrap piece of the mercury paper.

     Whew! Sometimes a clean and simple card can be a little more time consuming than you think!  I hope you will checkout the products at Pinque Peacock for they truly can make your project super special!

     Finally, they are done! This is the first time I used the mini Your Story by ProvoCraft and I have to say I love the look! These did seem to take quite a bit of time since I played with all the embellishments but the outcome was well worth it.This post is rather pic heavy but thought I'd share the outcome

     This was a fabulous way to use up scraps! Don't forget to leave a comment, I'd  love to hear from you!

Thank You

Wow I love how this turned out! The color inspiration comes from the color palette for C4C45
(Crazy 4 Challenges). It was to use  red, black and white. Considering I have been weeding thru scraps that are hanging around, I knew just what I was going to do when I came across this nice black and white print.
     The lovely medallion is from the new cricut lites cart "Lovely Florals". I actually cut this twice on the shadow feature in white and black card stock and then once at regular feature out of red card stock. I used some copic spica markers to highlight the details on the medallion and stamped the sentiment with versamark ink.
     I used red card stock as the base, then, added a solid black mat followed by the printed paper. It is finished off with a paisley black and white satin ribbon and, of course, red rhinestones around the center of the medallion and on the ribbon.

All Dolled Up!

Isn't she just adorable! Meet Vivienne the stamp set I won from a recent blog hop. I now have 3 grand daughters and the older 2 (6 yrs and almost 4 yrs) love to have Mema (up that's me, lol)  french braid their hair, so I thought I'd make a cute "purse" to hold the supplies.
     I have been wanting to try this stamp set so when Color Throw Down 100 had a challenge ( celebrating their 100th challenge let's hear a loud cheer!!!!) using blue, green, pink and real red I thought here comes Vivienne!
     The bag is from TBBM and is cut to fit page. I think the paper was from K&Company ( I went thru so many stacks I can't remember which one I used, lol)

Jugs # 40

      Today is a better day. I recently had vein surgery and the fatigue and nausea were slowing me down, not good! Today after a nice shower things are so much better.
     Since I have to lay low for a week its a great time to catch up on some challenges and projects. I just had to play with my new stamps from MSE and Peachy Keen Stamps. I have opened my Etsy store and REALLY need to add some variety so this Anniversary card popped in my head.
     As I have said before I love making these easel cards. The sketch came from the Just Us Girls ( JUGS)

and its JUGS 40. I used all sorts of scrap papers I had hanging around. Don't ya just love when that happens! The smiling face was from the Peachy Keen Stamps and the rest are from MSE including the sentiments. I colored the face with Peebles chalks and the details on the face were done with Creative Memory markers. I also dragged out my Nestabilities to do the scalloped circle around the face and a Fiskar border punch. I just love this ribbon. Believe it or not I've had it for several years and I still have some left. I also added a few flower brads to tie in all the colors.
