Bloggers Challenge Friday……Absolutely Fabulous!

May 8th, 2008

It’s time again for the blogger’s challenge and this week is appropriately a mother’s day card. I knew I wanted to use one of my many new Bella’s that I just got. I had held off for sooooo long in getting any but then all these sweet fairies kept calling my name and I just HAD to cave in!

absolutely-fabulous

I love her! I added little white dots to her petticoat layer, I wanted it to look like tule. And she has lots of shimmer and sparkles on her dress, wings and flowers from a mixture of spica pens and a stardust pen. The paper is Basic Grey’s Sugared from Jacksonbelle which I like so much more then I expected. I knew I would love it, but these colors are so “me” and I want more of it! The sentiment is from Papertrey’s set, “Mixed messages”. It’s one of those that I never know why or when to use it and I thought for a mother’s day card it worked. Because Mom’s are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!

I’m off to watch Survivor and possibly Top Model…….thank goodness for TiVo!

    I love it! Well….I’m still oogling and oggling over your book, but this card is fab! The sketched worked out perfectly and it sort of feel like the half-circles are wings too! Beautiful!
