In terms of crafting, I'm feeling a little rusty. This simple little card took more time than I care to admit. I'm still not totally happy with it and I can't even figure out why. I guess I'll just have to keep practicing with some serious cardmaking time - don't you think???
The sequins and the twine are from the Pretty Pink Posh Springtime Embellishment Kit which actually sold out on its first day!! The parts of the kit are still available - check out the great sequin mix with the large and small floral sequins. I also tried really hard to get the chevron ribbon on this card - it's a lovely soft ribbon, but I just couldn't get the yellow to work on this particular card.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun trip, Kim!!! Your card for today is so super sweet! Love the polka dotty baby carriage and the touches of sequins!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous baby card!! Hope you had a blast in Chicago!!
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots! Gorgeous doily, and where would you be without your so beloved sequins? They're the perfect finishing touch and match perfectly with the little coloured spots on the baby buggy.
ReplyDeleteNope, your card is great and no one can tell by the look of your card how long it took you to make it! :-)
Honestly, cross my heart! At least not as long as it takes me to even gather my stuff to make one, LOL!

ReplyDeleteDarling card. Love the polka dots and mix of ribbons you used. Yeah for a fun time with Stacey in Chicago too :) I was so happy to be able to meet Lesley Croghan this weekend even though our time was waaaay too short!
ReplyDeleteI had the opportunity last week to get togehter with blog friends, so I know how much fun that can be...
ReplyDeleteThis week I was busy with family visiting all week so I know what you mean by feeling "rusty" I'm having a difficult time getting back into card making...
But,
I don't think you did your card is lovely.
