No images, just words....


(Click here for the goodie giveaway!)

Good morning!  It's time for another challenge from Ruby's Rainbow; this fortnight my teamie, Silvi, has chosen the theme of "No images, just words".  Sounds fun, right?!

I thought this was a great opportunity to use a set from MFT called Vertical Greetings II; it really has some neat sayings.  I did a bit of dry embossing and distressing, then embellished with ribbon, a felt flower and Swarovski crystals.

Sentiment: MFT Vertical Greetings II
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Smokey Shadow, and Raspberry Fizz, My Mind's Eye DP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Embellies: Gray Grosgrain Ribbon (my stash), Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Black Diamond" and "Fuchsia"
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, Cuttlebug "Bit of Paisley" Embossing Folder, PTI Raspberry Fizz and Smokey Shadow Felt, MFT Royal Rose Die-namics, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I hope you will stop on over to the Ruby's Rainbow blog and check out the wonderful creations.  I would love to see what sentiment you will choose....

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:

Catered Crop: No Stress To Distress
Craft Your Passion: Emboss It
Crafty Sentiments: Let's Sparkle
Cute Card Thursday: Bling It Up
Fashionable Stamping Challenge: Anything Floral/Handmade Flowers
Joanna Sheen: Totally Sentimental
Love To Create: Hand Made Flowers
Party Time Tuesdays: Anything Goes
Shopping Our Stash: Use Your Favorite Things (pink, and Swarovski crystals)
Use It Tuesday: Use That Ribbon (gray grosgrain ribbon, and Swarovski crystals)
Sketch is from Skipping Stones Design (challenge closed)

Thanks for stopping by!

    That is a beautiful sentiment and so true! When the dogs are out walking ME, I have to remind myself to look at everything around me and enjoy the fresh air, instead of worrying about having my arm pulled out of the socket LOL!
