I am so pleased to make TWO announcements today - and this is the first! Stayed tuned later today for the second!
My wonderful friend Kate of
i {heart} papers has asked me to take a spot on her Design Team and I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted! You can read all about it on
her blog! In fact, she has a
fun little contest going on through the weekend for the opportunity to win some blingy bling from Zva! BUT before you head over there, I hope you will take a look at my project today and see what you could win from ME! I have some yummy
blog candy -
a $10 i {heart} papers gift certificate - to give away to one lucky reader of this post! Keep on reading to see how you can win!
My card today features one of Flourishes new stamp sets:
With Gratitude. I love cone flowers, and this set is perfect for several seasons of the year, depending on how it's colored! I got out my Prismacolor pencils and made some deliciously purple cone flowers.
The image is stamped on
X-Press Copic Blending Cardstock with
Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used some Authentique designer paper and cut a frame out of it using a Spellbinders die. The designer paper was then layered on top of the stamped image panel. I added some gorgeous
White Crepe Ribbon for a finishing touch.
Now, for the blog candy! To be eligible to win the $10 IHP gift certificate, just leave a comment on this post by Wednesday, September 5 at noon EST. Those who are followers of my new Facebook page (
Joy in a JAR) will have two entries (just head
