So Sweet

I have been on a little stamping roll LOL! I can only hope it continues as I have really enjoyed my time creating. I just had to make a card when I saw this great color challenge from Colour Q.
Here is my card
Now I am not sure about all of you, but I follow the PTI releases every month and I always have a a long list of things that I "need". I will be the first to admit that I am pretty blessed and usually I place a $60 a month (enough to get the free shipping LOL). This month I am blessed again, but for a different reason. CHA is coming to Chicago and I am one of the lucky ones that will get to go. Needless to say, I did not place an order last night becuase I knew I would be soon. Well this has been quite a different experience. I have had to really streach myself and instead of thinking about what my wish list would be, I have been up thinking about how I can modify what I love about the new products to work with what I have.
This card is part of that endevor. Last month I purchased the scrapbook serries stamp set and hadn't used it yet. I also hadn't used the much needed beautiful blooms 2 set. I am loving the new spiral die that everyone seems to be showing from PTI as of late. Well, I have a spiral punch and if I can find it I have the distressed kit from SU with a perferator, so I can do that with what I already have at home. Wahoooo!!! I am not sure I will love all of the steps indefinatley, but for now it is great.
I then added some black bling. The background is versa mark and a stamp from retro background basics, I think this might be my all time favorite background. I tied the basic grey ribbon from SU and then attached a black PTI button to tie the black in as well.
It's a good life!
