WCMD Papertrey Ink Challenge #3

Hello again everyone, please scroll down and make sure you see my first post for the day.

Last night I created two cards for the WCMD Challenges over at Nichole Heady's blog. The second card I created was for the third challenge, to be inspired by India. Here is my take...

Part of the challenge was to incorporate rhinestones, sequins & jewels in a fun and unique way. I chose to use this button that I had picked up on my last craft store excursion.

It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but in real life this button is very sparkly. Looks like it is encrusted with jewels. I loved the flowers that Dawn had made and just knew I had to give it a try with tulle, I love the way it turned out! The leaves were cut by hand and then creased down the center.

Thanks again for stopping by today!

Good morning to you all!

Last night I had a little time to create a couple cards for the Papertrey Ink World Card Making Day Challenges, over at Nichole Heady's blog. The challenges were to take inspiration from around the world.The second challenge was to be inspired by Mexico. Here is what I came up with...
I was inspired by the lady dancers flowing skirts, trimmed in tons of ribbon and lace, found here.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day!
