Pearls & Swirls.
Right up my alley as I love both! Please join us this week!
I Love the Sketches at Sketchbook Saturday. I finally timed it right, so I could play along. Just so happens, my paper matches perfectly again. This was not planned this time, nothing else seemed to go. I had lots of ideas and lots of stash out, but nothing seemed to work, until I pulled this paper out. I had lots of flourish ideas planned for the swirls, but it was too much. The picture makes it looks as if there are different color blues going on. In reall life it all matches quite nicely. I am happy with the outside, but not so much with the inside. The champagne glasses are not my favorite, so when I wake up, if it still bothers me, they may have to go. You can't see it, but there are swirls in the glasses and I added some glitter for the bubbles too. I just don't want to redo the flourishes, that is a lot of pearls to fiddle with!
My sewing machine is out of the shop! Finally!
I was hoping the crooked lines were because of the
machine not working right. Some of it was, but as you can see, some of it is me too! LOL! The stitching is working again, so I am happy!

Hi Stacey and welcome back to Crafty Ribbons! I'm almost sure I have seen you in previous challenges at Crafty Ribbons, right? Something about your religious beliefts made me sign up as a follower that's why.
Your card is really magnific; and it's a bit different because you have chosen printed / stamped flowers instead of the usual ones made of paper that I have on my inspiration card!

Hi Stacey. There's one of those butterflies again! Scrummy. Love your paper choice - such a lovely colour. Fabby flowers too. The inside is fine (bet you've altered it already though haven't you? LOL). Great card.
