So Sad...

So, yesterday was World Card Making Day, and there were a TON of fun things going on...sadly, I NEVER got to stamp yesterday...BOOHOO!! I have to tell you that I am one of the most boring people you will ever meet and I don't ever have plans, but let there be something I REALLY want to do, and that will be my busiest day of the week!! I had a bridal shower to go to yesterday and then spent a good part of the day with my MIL trying to calm her down(LONG story). By the time I was done, I was pooped and ready to sleep. I did manage to get my Fall decorations out around my house, but then promptly went to bed and slept til this morning. I told myself that I was going to make as many cards as my little hands would allow me!! So far, I have two done, go me!! This first one was made using the first World Card Making Day challenge on SCS as well as the WCMD challenge in the My Favorite Things forum. The first challenge was a sketch, so I used it with my new Annie LaPoint image, Chives. I stamped the image on watercolor paper and used my SU markers to color it in. It was then layered with Sage Shadow and Chocolate Chip ink and the edges were sponged. The card base is Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, and some DP I got at the Paper Pretties boutique. I used plain strips of Sage that I had sponged and pierced to make the panels required for the sketch. I then took some SU Chocolate and Cream taffeta as well as some Chocolate gingham(non SU) and tied them around the panels. The brads and spiral clip are form one of the old SU Hodgepodge Hardware kits(Antique Brass).
Well, that is it for my first card!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
