Oh boy - what a week it has been. Within 24hrs of my son bringing home this cold/flu from school the rest of the family came down with it too! :( I had one off school for days and a sick cranky toddler, sick hubby and I felt like death warmed up. Not much fun in Summer I assure you. Thankfully although nasty while you have it, it lasted *only* 3 days! (A very long 3 days - I didn't even look at my craft room during that time!) So ---- now that I'm feeling better it was time to start creating again and what better way than making a Beautiful Botanical card for the JustRite Challenge this week (JRC_006) which you can find on the JustRite Stampers Blog!I started with some pink bazzill, layered with Certainly Celery, white (punched with the Fiskars Eyelet Lace Embossing Border Punch) and two strips of some Imaginisce paper that I found in my stash. Around this I added some white satin ribbon and above that a pink panel cut and embossed with the Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant die. Popped on top of that I've stamped the Sweet Peas from JustRite's My Garden set in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with markers and a blender pen (regal rose and old olive). To finish I added a white satin bow and some Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the ribbon and the pendant.

Paper - Pink Bazzill, Certainly Celery, White, Imaginisce Magic Meadow
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Eyelets Pendant Die, Fiskars Eyelet Lace Embossing Border Punch, White Satin Ribbon, Bow Easy, Kaisercraft Snow Pearls, Markers, Blender Pen, Foam Tape.
I hope you are well wherever you are and thanks for stopping by for a visit!! :)

beautiful card Kathy. I love the color combinations that you used. I can also sympathize with you about being sick. My husband has had a cold for about a week and now I have it. Just waiting for my daughter to be next. Not a fun time!!
TFS,

Glad you are all feeling better now. Not fun when the whole family gets sick at once - ugh!
Lovely card. Great focal image and I love how you framed it. darling use of the pearls on the ribbon and look at that bow :D
Glad you got your first gold medal :D I loved watching the event - even more fun when you know exactly where it is because I've skied there! Glad you can cheer for those who were born in your fair country even if they are not competing on your behalf. The guy that came second in the men's moguls used to be Canadian. I just love watching such a wonderfully high level of competition!! Cat's even getting used to all the cheering LOL!
Kathy, you might have been sick, but girl, you have not lost your touch ;D. Your card is GORGEOUS!!! I am glad to hear that you are better and back to creating...I have missed those fabulous creations of yours. Hugs and blessings, Sabrina

Nice to see you back in the swing of things.... I like that stamp as you know and it looks great on the pendant thing... I used that paper not long ago myself, we must have bought it at the same time... looks good with the frilly border underneath!
