Dare To Be Dirty Tall Pink Card

Hi there! I finally got my pink card finished. This is really simple but I love it! I sell a lot of my cards. I find that most people who are not crafty prefer Simple, Clean and Crisp. Although I do have some customers who want it all lol. I love this big flower made by Fancypants Designs. The entire set ( Pollen Dust ) is wonderful. I inked up my paisley stamp with Rose Red and stamped the big flower on the paisley stamp, then I stamped the flower onto my card stock. The words Thank You is one of Michael's dollar stamps. Finished Card Size 9x4

Stamps:Paisley Pollen Dust, Michael's $ Stamp
Paper: Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, WW
Ink: Rose Red, Olive, Black
Accessories: Black Brads

Altered Box

Hi there!! I'm so excited in just a few minutes we will have a Winner for my first blog candy give away!!! Thank you for all the wonderful comments. I really enjoyed reading them. One of the items in the lunch box is a box I found at Target. It's the perfect size to hold post it notes. I peeled the paper off the box lid and sanded it, I used modgepodge to adhere the dp to it. The safari strip around the middle is just paper so really you only have to sand the top. I thought I would post this so the winner would have a jump off point:)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
