How About Some Bling?

This week for the Stampin' B's Design Team challenge #119, Pam asked that we 'Go Blingy and Embellie'-use as much bling and/or embellies as you can.  I did my best to please her by using a lot of pearl swirls and some flowers. We hope you'll get out your bling and embellishments and join us this week. Just go to the blog link above and use the inlinkz tool to upload.

My sister gave me this stamp from the $1 bin at Michael's. She gave me  5 of these and they are all butterfly/sentiment stamps. I had not seen these. They were wooden, large, and stamp really well.

Mega Thanks/Sunrays

My neighbor/friend just brought over a beautiful, cone-shaped, twig basket of flowers to hang on my fence. Today is not my birthday, but it is very soon. Her gift made me light up like these sun rays.

This is my first time to try this wonderful tutorial from Geri's Cards for the sun rays and it was so much fun. There is a good bit of sponging. I like it and hope you do, too. I  added my 'hot sun' with a piece of SU Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut with a circle nestabilitie.
The rest of the card was really simple.

I got inspiration from EtsyInspired challenge:EIC140- We are to choose our inspiration from an Etsy shop called Peaden Scott Designs (check out that awesome pop-up cards). Wow!
This is the card I was inspired by:

How beautiful is this! I didn't do any cut-outs but did a huge 'thanks' sentiment and what I think is the sun above her thanks.

There is a new challenge called Craft Room and it is Anything Goes so here I go on their #1

Papertake Weekly Challenge is also Anything Goes this week.

I'll be entering my card into the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen theme challenge, also. The theme is It's a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong.
