Thing of Beauty

The Tuesday Challenge at the Jacksonbelle Blog is to use holiday papers to make an every day card.  Please link your card to the Blog post & use JBE090 as a keyword if you upload to a gallery.  I'm always on the lookout for papers that have multiple possibilities.

I've had so much fun making Valentines with the Pink Paislee Cupid Post Cards. However, they also work for non-Valentine cards as well.

I combined this week's Get Sketchy! Sketch with stamps from Cornish Heritage Farm's Ornamental Beauty collection.  I added my new Martha Stewart Butterfly punch for an accent and, although it's hard to see in the picture, stamped Hero Arts Design Block Flourish on the chocolate card base. 

Glitterclose To finish I colored the flowers with colored pencils & for Lucy's Glitter Challenge, added Fruit Punch Stickles for an overall sparkle. 

So dig through those Designer Papers you've been saving for holiday cards & think outside the box.

Make sure you check out the cards by the other Jacksonbelle Rockstars from the main post or the links on my side bar.

I can't wait to see what you create.
