You Are Lovely

Hi, everyone!!  I'm finally back and caught up after all the crazy travel last week.  Can I just say, driving from Iowa to Wisconsin to Ohio and back to Iowa in less than a week will do a person in.  I'm pooped!  Luckily, everything went well and we made it to pick up all children involved.  Now everyone is home and I can clean and do laundry...wait!?!?!  ;)  Luckily, I had a little time this morning to share a card I created before I left.  I hope you enjoy it!

So, I created this card for the Lil' Inker Designs June release but then I didn't like.  Well, I changed my mind again and now I do.  Ha ha!  I started by stamping my sentiment using the gorgeous Lovely and Sweet Stamps on a piece of vellum with Archival Ink.  I cut my vellum with Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangle to frame my sentiment and then got to work adding extra touches in the corners using more stamps from Lovely and Sweet Stamps.  I layered it on a piece of black cardstock also cut with Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangle and then layered the whole thing on a piece of patterned paper.  I felt like it needed a little something more so I used my white gel pen to add some extra accents here and there.  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card today.  I hope you are having an awesome week and are ready for a great weekend!  See you soon!
