Friends

Happy Sunday morning to you!  It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day here today.  Any day when the sun is shining is beautiful to me.  Even when it's crazy hot here in California, I love to see the sunshine!



I made this card using Nina's fun sketch that she created for her blogoversary challenge and giveaway.  You can read all about it here



I started with a base card of PL Chocolate Kiss and then added some print cardstock from the Memory Box Frond 6 x 6 pack.  (I love, love this paper collection)  I stamped and embossed the flowers from the Spring Mix kit on a scrap of the Frond cardstock with Rich Cocoa Memento ink.    I added the image panel to a Choc Kiss petite scallop nesties panel and added a boatload of light blue rhinestones to add some sparkle and shine.  The sentiment and butterfly were stamped with Rich Cocoa ink as well. I took a little creative liberty and moved the bow over so that it wouldn't compete with the sentiment. 



Tip:  To emboss using Memento ink, first ink up your stamp with Versamark and then with your Memento pad.  This allows the ink to stay wet long enough to add the embossing powder.



I wish you all a lovely Sunday,
