Dare to Get Dirty Challenges ~ Day #2

  Happy Tuesday!

Ok, so there are three Dare to Get Dirty Challenges this morning…. I knew with my schedule, I could only pick one today.   I wanted to do a combo, but couldn’t quite wrap my brain around that!  So…. I went with the toughest one for me….. JulieHRR’s challenge. 

This was HARD!   First of all, I am a layer girl and ya’ll know that.   I didn’t even know where to start, so I studied Julie’s gallery for awhile and I think I ‘get it’ now.   I was scared to stamp on the white piece of cardstock in front of me, at first, as I knew this was it!  I couldn’t cut it out or pop it up or layer it.   I was sweating! LOL  

For this card, I chose this Pretty Petals set by Kitchen Sink Stamps (www.kitchensinkstamps.com) .  I first stamped the flower center in Kiwi Kiss, then alternated petals in Regal Rose and Bali Breeze.   I punched my trusty ribbon punch on the side and ran some green piped organdy ribbon through… added a sentiment and popped on a 1/2 pearl and voila!  This took me all of 10 minutes to do, after I figured out the ‘concept’.   I really really love it!  Thanks to Julie for all the inspiration!!

Here are my deets:

Stamps:  Pretty Petals by Kitchen Sink Stamps, sentiment by My Favorite Things

Colors: GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Kiwi Kiss, Bali Breeze, Regal Rose

Accessories: 1/2 pearl, ribbon punch, ribbon

A Little Funny for You:

How to Tell the Sex of a Fly

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her
husband stalking around with a fly swatter

‘What are you doing?’
She asked. ‘Hunting Flies’ He responded.
‘Oh. ! Killing any?’
She asked.

‘3 were on a beer can,
2 were on the phone. ‘

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
