Whew, these Saturdays roll around quickly, don't they? Time for a new challenge at
Our Creative Corner! We have a new hostess this week, Paula McClane, and she is asking us to combine bling with nature elements in our projects. Here's what I came up with:
I was about halfway through making this card (which was already my second try) when I realized I had just used the Betsy's Blossoms set two weeks ago. Well, I would have to say it's one of my favorite new sets, so I couldn't help reaching for it again! I combined a couple of other challenges with this one:
colourQ and
Freshly Made Sketches.
I did make some subs with the colors - I accidentally used Blushing Bride for my light pink, and instead of poppy I used Melon Mambo. I struggled a little with the layout, but when I was playing around with my label die-cuts and ended up with a skinny frame of the melon polka-dot DP, something clicked. The scalloped border on the right side is a new edgelit, the Blushing Bride DP is retired, and the sentiment is from another new set called Sweet Essentials.
I hope everyone has a great weekend - be sure you visit the OCC blog to see the rest of the creations from our wonderful team. It's always one of my favorite moments in each week when I get to see what they've come up with. And we love to see your work as well so please play along with us!

How bright & cheery your blingy nature card is! How Fun & the perfect touch of bling on the leaves along with the perfect patterned paper for the bird's wings :-)
Just when I thought I had 'enough' edgelits to hold me over, you go and tease me with this one! I guess I'll be adding that one to my wish list too. :D
Your card is absolutely delightful and brings such a wonderful feel of cooler weather to mind. I love the diamond bling you've added as well. :)
Hope you have a great weekend!
