Here's a great image from Sweet Pea artist Teresa Sherman (
plate #222) called "I'm not Goth." So very perfect for those teens in your life. I just love this image. I dressed her up in hot pinks and black. I used a card that is folded in half and will stand up, with the image sticking well above the card (fits perfectly into a 5.5" square envelope).
That gorgeous décor on the bottom is actually amazing ribbon. It's been hand glittered and the beads and sequins are sewn onto it. It's some that I bought while in Istanbul, Turkiye. I don't know what the ribbon is typically intended for, but I just see fabulous cards I can make with it! I will say at all the shops I went to in the ribbon district there, I did take a handful of cards decorated with ribbon and lace to show the shop owners so they would see what I did with type of items they sell.
The sentiment comes from Cosmo Cricket and the butterfly from Petaloo.
Can you believe it's Feb 1st? How about we start off the blog candy today a rubber stamp from Sweet Pea stamps? Just leave a comment today--winner will be picked sometime next week and will announce it, until the winner gets announced, you are eligible to leave a comment here. You can always go back and leave a comment to all the games you haven't played in. I assume we may have multiple winners, so I will be sending out all prizes at the end of the month!
Cheers, Holley
