Best Wishes


challenge today is a No pattern paper challenge
don't know why but this was a real challenge for me...
hop on over and see what you
CAN do with just card stock.

started with some Papertrey Ink Ripe Avocado
then some dark chocolate next some Lemon tart that I ran
through the cuttlebug birds and swirls
I used some Jenni Bolin Malted Milk and sticky candy and inked the embossing
I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the sentiment
that is from Papertrey Ink Botanical-Silhouettes
some crinkle ribbon and a few dots of perfect pearls
and the Flower Cameo from Elizabeth Mae's Cameo Collection

Hope everyone has a rewarding week
