Avoir - WMSC32, PDCC66, C4C72, Crafty Sentiment and Paper Players

Happy Saturday!! It has been a pretty nice day here in Chicago except the weatherman is predicting a pretty big snowstorm over the next couple of days that will effect a fairly large area across the US.  For all you of you in the South get your shovels ready!! :)

This card was designed based off of this week's sketch at WMSC , PDCC color challenge, C4C challenge to create a project with a Shabby Chic feel, Crafty Sentiments to use your favorite materials and Paper Players - anything goes. The sketch was a fun one to work with and the colors were fun as well because I have never created a card using just these colors, but to create a card based off of C4C's challenge and Crafty Sentiments was right up my alley and needless to say Paper Players made it easy by challenging us to "anything goes".

DP's from Websters Pages, paper flower and rhinestone adhesive from Prima, decorative pin from JBS, stamps from Pink Paislee, misc. crocheted trim, shabby seam binding ribbon, vintage lace, and mini envelope.

Thanks for taking a peek..........off to post my card.  Have a wonderful relaxing evening - Cathy xx :)
