Herb Expression along with Concord Crush

Concord Crush with Stampin Up Herb Expression for an inspirational Challenge!

Good day to y'all

hope you are having a WONDERFUL DAY!

It's Friday

Carey it's Friday my friend hehe:-)

okay so today we have a beautiful challenge for you

it's an Inspirational challenge

thank you Cynthia

sorry for the bad photo - I thought I had it saved in my emails

but yha know - that would be a NO he he

okay so first I want to show you my CLEAN craft room LOL

oh yes now I can think!

I am ready to start

I have the inspirational challenge photo and my stamp set

I chose to use Herb Expression

I took out two stamp pads

Concord Crush

& Pear Pizzaz - along with the Presto DSP (I love this stuff)

now my sponging is done I took my stamp out

but I had alot of trial and errors here

and ended up stopping my timer so that I could actually decide

let me tell you that it took about 40 min of different trys

would you beleive that I have been up since 2:20 am

it's now 5:27 am and I am just posting

Well I did do a few other things other then this card LOL
like working on a new TUTORIAL for y'all!

I decided to put my stamped image in an oval

so I used Mr. Big Shot

so after I stamped I used my blender pen and my stamppads

then I used a little bit of smooch

now to put a greeting on

I went with the new set called

"Just Beleive"

now for some layers and little embelishment

sadly I am out of time

ghuhr

ouh I love this ribbon and the bling brads how pretty uh?

here is my card

what do you think

it took me well over 17 min actual time to make the card

deciding time I won't count LOL

goodnes he he

the brads in colour are THE BEST I love'm!

it was the first time I got to use our new

Smooch - I used the Pearlized top coat called Illuminate

pretty and very easy to use

pretty ribbon

thank you Lee for both the bow maker and the idea to use this wonderful colour!

all right one more photo!

It has been such a long week with being on vacation and working I had forgotten it was Friday. What a fantastic surprise to see the 10 minute challenge when I came to the blog this afternoon. Awe inspiring as in you saw awwwww when you see it!! The pictures you used to inpsire and colors are wonderful. I love purple and green together. I think my favorite part is the background and how dreamy it looks. I just have to perfect that technique. Mine doesn't look like yours. I hope you and your loves both furry and non have a great weekend. Make Rex take you out for dinner Saturday, something yummy. Hugs.
