Reach for the Stars

It is Monday morning here and I am sharing a card with you before I put my 'head down' and get one with some pending deadlines - I am trying to work ahead as I have an exciting trip coming up in August - I am join the Spellbinders Teams for an exciting event - a Retreat with all of the Teams - can we say - EXCITED!!  LOL!

I just love Pinterest - and have cased this card - for those of you who do not know - CASE means Copy and Share Everything - you need to change a minimum of two things and give the designer credit.  The card I cased is created by AudreyAnn whose Blog you can find here - be prepared to stay a while - such gorgeous inspiration to be found!

This card is great for using up those little bits of paper that are too good to throw away - and I love that!  I have also used the Les Papillions Two Spellbinders® Shapeabilities®- how adorable is this filigree butterfly - it also comes with a solid base and there are two in this set - makes choosing hard!

The bling is the Swirls Finesse - Brown Rhinestone  from Want2Scrap© - these swirls are one of my all time favourite bling. The sentiment is from the Penny Black Inc. - Eloquence stamp set.

This card is for the following challenges: 
One Stop Craft - Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes 
Challenges 4 Everybody - Always Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations Paint - Anything Goes
Great Impressions - Anything Goes   
Left of Center Creative Challenges - Use a Sentiment on the Front and/or LOC theme!

Musical Flight

It is a fact - anything Spellbinders inspires me - but I have to say I am partial to the Die D-Lites, especially the first ones designed by Spellbinders Founder Stacey Farneth Caron - I have to say - she 'gets' me!

When I run off a Die for a project, I usually run off a few so I have them at an arms reach when I am creating.  For my card I have used the divine Window One Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites™ and the Floral Ovals Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.  My image is from Penny Black®, Inc. and the paper from KaiserCraft.  The gorgeous pearls are from Want2Scrap©

 

The sentiment is is a sticker from my stash and has been adhered to a tag from the A-2 Fancy Postage Stamps Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator.  All of the Dies have been cut with one run through os the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine - you have to love that!  I have used my favourite inks -

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko®

a quick and easy card with lots of dimension!
