Prettie Wednesday

Normally I don't get to include my Prettie Wednesday challenge card with the weekly sketch challenge, but since I am terribly behind, I did this week!! Two weeks ago Jana challenged us to make a baby card using Paper Pretties stamps. I have to tell you, I was stumped. I have racked my brain til there was nothing left and finally decided on this. It is the "implied" baby card- get it, "Made With Love"!!LOL!! I started by stamping my Luke and Lexi stamp from the Paper Pretties set Sealed With A Kiss. I then colored it in with my SU markers and blended it with my aqua painter. You can't see it from the photo, but I used my glitter pen to add some sparkle to her belt, hairband, pearls, and earrings. Then I used my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities to cut out the image and layer it with Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip. For my background, I used some more of my Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie paper. To keep to the sketch, I tied a Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon around the card and tied it in a knot. For the vertical piece, I used a scrap and just glued it around the card. The main image is up on pop dots and I added three ruby brads to the top and bottom of the card. For the sentiment, I used one of the many sayings from the Paper Pretties Made With Love set and I curved it on my block so that it would follow the curve of the circle. I always love it when people do that, but I never remember to try it myself and I was so proud of myself that I did tonight. Be sure to blurf around and see all the other Prettie Girls' work. So, you wanna play along? Good, we love it when you do, just leave a link to your card so that we can all see it!! Last week Jillian challenged us to make it new again by taking our oldest set and using it, yikes!! This week it is my turn to challenge the Prettie Girls and it is my first time to do so, yayy!! My challenge girls, should you chose to except it, is to make a card using BRIGHT colors, and of those colors, one of them must be orange!! Good luck girls!! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!
