This week Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge is supporting the Second Annual "Hope You Can Cling To" Challenges at SCS. We have chosen the "Fight Like A Girl" challenge that was posted October 11 for our challenge this week. Here is the info about this challenge.
Create a card or project with some girlie embellishments; flowers, lace, glitter, bling, pearls, ribbons..... all things girlie!
Above is the card I created for this challenge. The pink flower was created by stamping the hydrangea from the Heartfelt Creations "Hydrangea/Posy Branch PreCut Set" (HCPC 3301). To make the flower dimensional I stamped the smallest posy from the Heartfelt Creations "Posy Patch Flowers PreCut Set" (HCPC 3303) on two different shades of pink card stock and cut them out with the Posy Patch Diecuts (HCD 701). A Spellbinder Scalloped Circle was conditioned with tools from the Flower Tool Kit and was glued to the center of the flower. The small posies were also shaped with the Flower Tool Kit and added to create a dimensional flower. Rhinestones were added to the center of each little flower. Additional hydrangea leaves were stamped and colored, then added under the flowers.
The design paper on the the bottom of the design is from the Webster's Pages "Your Life, Beautiful" paper pad. The pretty embossed background was created with one of the new embossing folders from the Sizzix "Ornate Frames Set" (656989). Behind the flower I added one of the Cheery Lynn "Italian Flourish" Doilies (DL103). To add some more "girlie embellishments" to the card, I added a lace border down the right side created with the Cheery Lynn "Anastasia Border" (B136) die. The Butterflies are from the Cheery Lynn "Mini Butterflies" (DL112) set. They were die cut using yellow card stock to match the butterflies in the design paper. The JustRite sentiment was stamped on one of the Spellbinders "Parisian Accents" die cuts and tucked under the edge of the flower. Three small pearls were added to the sentiment tag. Pearls were also added to the corners and also on the butterflies. A bow was made using the "Bow Easy" and attached to complete the card.
I think my card definitely looks very girly. I will be going over to SCS to add it to the "Fight Like A Girl" challenge. Don't forget to add your card to the link at Joan's Gardens for a chance to win a prize. This is a very easy challenge and I hope to see lots of cards linked to Joan's Blog showing your support. You can get the complete information about Joan's challenge on her blog.
