The morning started early for me....my cell phone went off at 12:21am.... It is never a great feeling when after having just gotten to bed the phone rings. But, alas, it wasn't terrible news, just that the EK (extra kid) I watch was sick and wouldn't be coming in the morning. Nice to know, but wow it was early. Not even like I got to sleep in because I still had to make sure my son got off to school...lol
So, I needed myself a nice bath this morning and Sassy Design Studio supplied me with one. Their new challenge is to use sponging on your card, so, after cutting around the immie with a nestie, I sponged on some pink ink. Which in turn, I thought was too bright, so sponged on some vanilla to give it more of a vintage feel.
I am also submitting this to the DT call at the new Twisted Tuesday Challenge(2TC) blog. Melina was really pushing my talents with wanting a pastel square card with a hint of black apparent somewhere. Yikes, pastels?? I guess you can't go wrong with pink! My blue flower is much more subdued IRL...lol. A little bead flourish and a paper pieced tub round out my cream based card!
Thanks for stopping by.
HUGGZ,

Simply lovely, April! I love the black scroll die cuts against the pretty pastel background! Wonderful job combining the two inks for sponging! Thanks for joining us at Sassy Studio Designs for our FFF challenge on PCP! :)

Your card is so soft and beautiful, April. Very nice.
I must say, though... had EK's parents called me at that awful hour, I wouldn't have needed a bath... I would have needed a baseball bat. LOL! Why couldn't they wait until a respectable hour to let you know???
Oops! I got so concerned about that phone call that I forgot to say...
I'm so glad you've applied for the DT position at Twisted Tuesday! Good luck!
