Haven't seen an Uptown Girl from me in a while have ya. I just adore these stamps, but haven't had the spare time to play with them. Well someone has helped me out with that. Someone named Emily who so sweetly asked begged me to become one of her Stamping Bella Bellarific Babes. LOL Now at this time I just couldn't swing being a full time Babe so I'll only be posting a couple of cards a month or maybe more if I can, but I'm excited about the opportunity.
This weeks challenge was a sketch.
I used the lovely "Catherine Nibbling Chocolate" to create this card which will be my daughters Valentine. She's really into the black, white, and pink color combo so I pulled out some My Mind's Eye papers and found this gorgeous sheet with the pinstripes and lovely pink blossom. I dressed the blossom up a bit by adding some Diamond Stickles. I kept the embellies and die cuts in the same color scheme.
Wish I could eat chocolate like this and look like her. hee hee
