Congratulations Cheryl!


Woo-hoo! My daughter's BFF Cheryl just bought a house and she's jumping outta her skin she's so excited. She's been renting for years and this is her FIRST home!! What a terrific feeling! So to celebrate her happy day, my daughter asked me to make her a card to go along with a house warming gift. I'm sure you guessed she had to twist my arm too!! LOL!!

I started by stamping "Bella Dream House" from Stamping Bella onto some Bella's Bestest Paper and colored it with my Copics. I sponged around the edges and stitched it to a double mat of SU Cool Carribean and PTI Dark Chocolate CS. This DP is from October Afternoon's Weathervane collection and the green checkered DP is actually the reverse side of the houses. I punched a little white picket fence with my Martha Stewart border punch and placed it between the two DP's and finished with some brown checkered ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow. That's it from the hen house today, be sure to leave a cluck below and lemme know what ya think, ok?

Oh and I'm sure you won't wanna miss this week's Tantalizing Toosday sale over at Stamping Bella. You never know what AWESOME deals you'll find and of course, CAN'T live without! LOL!
Have a Tee-rific Toosday!! {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Rubber Stamp - Stamping Bella; CS - Bella's Bestest Paper, PTI Dark Chocolate, Aqua; DP - October Afternoon; Copics; Ribbon - Michael's; Border Punch - Martha Stewart

  7. Beauuuutiful! I love how you tied the house colors to the design paper. I've always loved the look of a white picket fence and it looks right at home on this card. Just wondering...do you ever have a bad card day or struggled with a layout design? You'd never know it with what you show us each week. You're awesome and a true inspiration.
