My girlfriend called me with a request to make a gift set for her friend. She wanted a monogram set and she really liked the black and white set that I made her awhile ago. So, I set to work...actually re-working a design I made a few weeks ago....
I wanted a pop of color to the Black and White design. So I went through my stash of primas and found enough large flowers in 2 colors that work well together in a set! Therefore, I can enter this card in the Creatively Cute Blogger Challenge #8...Pink which is hosted by the wonderful Anjou!
The mat on this card is the new SU in-color Melon Mambo...this is fast becoming my favorite color...even though it hasn't even been released yet!! It will be available on July 1st...so get your wallets ready!!
The card base was cut with the sizzix scalloped card die out of SU Basic Black CS. I inked up the edges with PTI Fresh Snow ink. The damask stamp is actually from the $1 section at Michaels!! The black ribbon is from PTI.
The monogram is SU Lovely Letters which is punched out with the 1" circle punch.
I will be making a box for it, so I will have to post the finished project later.
Now, if you would like to participate with the Creatively Cute Blogger Challenge...it is open to all!! So grab something pink, make a card, and upload it to SCS using keyword CCB08. Anjou has been collecting a ton of stuff for the winner...and the more who join, the more will be added to the prize!! So, hurry up and get those cards done!! The deadline is Monday, June 29th. The winner will be chosen on June 30th.
Make sure to come back here on Sunday for the High Hopes Challenge. This week it was MY turn to host!!! Such fun!
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Stamping!

Lacey, I took your advice and entered a challenge. Can I use the same card for two challenges? I was trying to figure out how to enter the pink challenge with Anjou, but I couldn't figure it out. I went to the website, but I can't find the link for SCS... Is it a link? Thank you so much for all the inspiration.
