Hope, Comfort, and Fun!

So the one thing that I definitly can't do is sew. I try, but not matter what it seems it gets crooked. Todays card was made for the CPS challenge and I really struggled to finish this. I am not sure that I am happy with it still, but decided that enough is enough and gave up on it. I don't really have too much time today as I have a 2 yr. old daughter that is very sick today so I could only work on it in between having to take care of her. The dp I used on this card I purchased at Michaels in a paper pack by Ancestory. I love this line of paper, but it lends toward Shabby which is sometimes very hard for me to do. I used a decorative edge punch by Martha Stewart, and I used scalloped scissors to cut out the heart. The lace was a piece of lace I had in my ribbon stash. I added the prima with the metal accent and pearlized brad. I also added some Company K stickers I had that say Hope, Comfort, and Fun. I added some Martha Stewart pearls and here it is. I also want to say thank you to all those that have left me comments on my blog. All comments are so much appreciated.

I made this card for the 2Sketches4You challenge. The bg is made using the bg stamp Bella Toile from SU. I stamped in onto Whisper White paper using Black Staz-on. I layered in onto red and white, stitching around it with red thread. The "Love" sentiment is from Flourishes Lace Heart stamp set and the sentiment "you mean everything to me" is from SU Always stamp set. I also used the swiss dots folder for the cuttlebug to texture the circle panel, I used nestabilities to cut out the scalloped circle and the regular circle. The ribbon was intertwined and stitched onto the main panel, and the small saying was attached using a pearl pin. I also added some small jewels from K and Co. in the top left corner. TFL!
