Yes it's Monday. Yes the weekend is over. Yes I have to go back to work today. But, once we get through today, it will be Tuesday! My husband gets home early on Monday night. And I have a super fun card to share with you today!
Funny story about this card. My inspiration came, again from a magazine. This time of a pink and gray bedroom. All I had in mind was the color scheme. When I was little, I had this Brooke Shields doll. I loved everything about her, but especially her pink and gray outfit. The only thing I could think about Sunday while I was making this card was that dang Brooke Shields doll. Ahh, the memories. I had so much fun playing with that doll. Okay, enough reminiscing. On to the card.
The card base is a larger size than normal. It measures 4x81/2. The reason for that being, every year we get those photo cards for our Christmas cards. They typically send extra envelopes and I feel bad throwing these away. Now don't go thinking I'm a hoarder. Quite the opposite actually. The deal is, envelopes are crafty. I can't throw something CRAFTY away. Anyway, these leftover envelopes hold a 4x81/2 card perfectly!
It's hard to tell in the photo, but I stamped the background with PTI's Background Basics Text Style II with CTMH white ink.
Close up of the rhinestones...
I had a lot of fun with this. I was able to use my new dies from Papertrey (more about those later in the week)! I hope you guys have a great Monday! Try to do something crafty today and thanks for stopping by!
