Blog Candy & A Card

I used Random.org to draw the winning entry for the blog candy, and the winner is #91. Dottie K:

My fav would be ribbon and I love those crystal bling brads now. Adds such a great touch to cards. Love the card-very elegant. Great blog candy. TFS

May 18, 2007 7:20 AM

Dottie, please send me your snail mail address at rrz6698@yahoo.com so that I may ship your goodies to you!

Thanks for playing everyone!

For my Blog Candy, you get everything you see in the picture. Karen Foster Mini Casual 1/8 inch Snap Stamps, Decorative (self adhesive) pearls, Amuse Creative Candy Twinkle Stickers (micro dot), and May Arts Polka Dot Ribbon in the colors you see (1 yard each).

I will be drawing the winner on Friday evening at 6:00 eastern using random.org. Just leave a comment below, to tell me your favorite embellishment. Thanks for playing!

Here's a simple card made with an Arturo Note Card from Ellen's store. The Stampendous Agapanthus Cluster is embossed with White Detail embossing powder. I used Fancy Flexible Phrases for the sentiment, and a small piece of ribbon from Jacksonbelle Embellishments as an accent . The sentiment and sponged edges are SU Bashful Blue.

Thanks for looking!

Stamps: Agapanthus Cluster, Fancy Flexible Phrases
Card Stock: Arturo Note Card in Pale Blue
Ink: VersaMark, Bashful Blue
Accessories: White Detail Embossing Powder & Heat Tool, May Arts Ribbon, mini glue dot

Stampin_Melissa said...: What a beautiful card! I love the simplisity and elegance.

My favorite embellishment would have to be brads. They are so easy to use and I love all the coordinating colors SU has! My eyelets have pretty much gone to the wayside since all the gorgeous colors of brads.

Thanks for offering some great blog candy. Looks scrumptious!; May 17, 2007 at 7:54 AM

Anonymous said...: I have to admit my favorite embellishment isn't all that original-- it's ribbon! I don't think I've ever made a project without at least a little scrap on it! Not very original, I know, but it's amazing what you can do with some woven cloth! Thanks for offering the blog candy, but most of all thanks for sharing your work.; May 17, 2007 at 8:40 AM
Heidi said...: This card is simple and stunning! IO really need to get some of those arturo note cards!

Well, right now it would have to probably be stickles. Not sure if that is considered an embellishment so if not ribbon is the very next in line.

P.S. I LOVE sheer polka dot ribbon!!!; May 17, 2007 at 8:45 AM
kathleenh said...: I love the frosted look of this card. Very elegant looking.

I would say ribbon is my favorite embellishment. I hardly make a card without it. I would love to get my hands on some of that dotted ribbon!

Cheryl said...: My favorite embellishment is ribbon, but I have problems using it. It seems that it just never looks quite right where I place it, so I am always checking out where others use theirs and how they do it. Your blog is a treasure trove of info. Thanks for doing this.

Karen Lindsay said...: Wonderful candy! I like to say that my motto is, "Glitz is Good." I love Stickles and the crystal embellishments like you have in your blog candy. Have you seen the little crystal butterflies and dragonflies? They are wonderful little touches of color when your card just needs that one little bit of "something else."; May 17, 2007 at 10:28 AM

I didn't even get them in the paper crafting department. But they're just rhinestones and a pain to glue each down individually.
