The New Year is here and it is nice to have things get back into a routine, especially when it comes to getting some stamping time in :)This week's Mojo Monday sketch was a good way to get the juices flowing again. I decided to go a little on the shabby/girly side - for reasons unbeknownst to me. Must be Diva Andrea's Diva Dust floating its way across the continent once again (waving wildly to you Andrea!).
This K & Company paper was perfect for my girly card and I paired it with some pleated ribbon with lace over top. As you can see I had a few issues getting the ribbon straight on the card - ugh! Going to have to fix that! Added a butterfly and a flower as I am already wanting Spring to come! Mind you I can't really complain about the weather as we have had a very mild winter so far (today was over 50F!) as well as some lovely sunny days thrown in amidst the rainy ones. I just love spring so it can never come quick enough!
Have a fabulous day and thanks for popping by for a visit :)

Marisa, I am loving all the details on this lovely card. I especially like all the pink which is becoming my new favorite color for some reason. Great ribbon and flowers too! Hugz!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - perfect rose with the bg paper~
ReplyDeleteLovin' the pink and green, Marisa! Wish we'd had 50F yesterday--we started the day at 7F and it never got above freezing. BRRRRRRRRRR!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's beautiful, alright...I love it! The pink, the ruffles, the pearls...how could it get any better unless it was sitting in my mailbox?! :) A gorgeous work of art, Marisa...I can see that you're back on the creative wave in full swing! Have a great day, my dear...Huge {{{hugs}}} comin' atcha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful papers and a great sketch, Marisa! Love the butterfly paired with the branch punch. Wish I had that branch punch! They don't seem to offer it anymore.
ReplyDeleteLovely feminine card, Marisa! I wouldn't know what to do with all of those layers, but they obviously gave you no trouble. I especially love the leaf sprigs behind the rose.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! Great job! Olena
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch - and that shabby/girly side works for you perfectly! Love those nesties and the pearls, plus your super sweet butterfly and that awesome edge!! Fabulously girly creation, Marisa =)
ReplyDeleteI wish we had your weather. It was raining on my way to work today =( I'm about done with this rain/freeze/thaw cycle we've got going on.
A lovely blend of paper and posies Marisa :) We're having such warm weather too. Really hard to believe it's January!
ReplyDeleteSo spring-y Marisa, love the colors and butterfly!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning, magnificent. Love the colors. So spring and beautiful, just love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! I love all the pink and the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Marisa. I am ready for spring and it was 60 here today. I am a summer bum. I love the pleated ribbon and I think I have this stamp. Now I just need to dig some of my old ones out.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, and so feminine. I am not usually a frilly girly girl, but I would love this card, it is not over the top, but sweet enough!
