Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Mathews

Today's card is for two challenges PLUS it's for a friend of mine who got married recently. Congratulations Tiffany!
The first challenge for the card is this week's Sketch over at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. The second challenge is the Unity Bachelor Challenge (Week #2). Those requirements are:
Use Unity Stamps (Check- September KOM Go Wish)
Use One Piece of Patterned Paper (Check- PP from Making Memories)
Use something Shiny or Glittery (Check- Rhinestone on the ribbon to emulate a diamond ring)
Use Two Buttons (Check- they are on there!)

I am heading over to the newlyweds house for a reception, I hope they like the card....ok- it's more for Tiffany (girly and pink) than it is for her husband....but hopefully he will appreciate it too.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I'm a Girly Girl Who's Crazy 4 Challenges!

How about that for a blog post title? It will make sense, I promise. I made today's card for the challenge over at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. It's a great new challenge blog with some fantastic ladies on the design team including my friend Frances (Stampowl). Be sure to check it out- it's fun and they have sponsors!
This week's challenge is a sketch challenge and it is a great layout for a card! I pulled out some Rubber Romance stamps that I have been wanting to get inky for a couple weeks now. This is Babs (ATC size) soaking in a bubble bath. I love this stamp. It might be because I am a Girly Girl at heart who doesn't have time for indulgences like bubble baths very often anymore. I paper-pieced the tub with the same patterned paper I used on the base of the card (see below) and then colored the rest of the image in with Prismacolor Pencils (love those!) Then I accented some of the bubbles, the scallops and dotted my eyes with pearls. You can't be a Girly Girl without some bling, right? Stamps: Rubber Romance Babs
Ink: Brown Stazon; Close To Cocoa
Paper: Chocolate and pink CS; PTI White; Basic Grey Porcelain PP
Accessories: Pearl stickers by Mark Richards, Oval and Circle Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Border Punch and Chocolate Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today- I ALWAYS appreciate it!
