Yup, it was even fun the second time around!

You guessed it!  Another corset card!  I had so much fun the first time around, that I had to come up with a different combination of embossing and colors.  That's the beauty of this simple design, there are multiple ways you can decorate it!  This time I have made it a more vintage feel with the swirls and purple ink and ribbon.

I'm making this for my design team post for ABC Challenges.  This week we are on X is for Crossing Ribbons!  So if you have ribbon on your card, and you can make it cross, then we want you to upload with us!  Our sponsor this week is One Stop Card Crafts.  Make sure you check them out!  Awesome stuff!  

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

The Crazy Challenge - Beautiful Women

Karen's Doodles - perfect purples

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot....Corset?

Yes, it made me think of that song, but somehow corset just didn't fit!  Oh well! :)

Today at Dream Valley Challenges we would like to see you use ribbon.  That's it pretty simple!  Our sponsor this fortnight is Crafty Ribbons!  They have donated this wonderful prize:

I found an awesome corset template while browsing blogland.  If you are interested you can find it here.  I just followed the easy instructions, added my own colors and personal touches, and this is what I came up with!  I hope you enjoy.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

A Spoonful of Sugar - Challenge #157 Ribbon and Bows

Papertake Weekly - Here Comes the Sun

Tip Top Tuesday - Cross It Challenge

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge - GDT #2!

This week at House Mouse and Friends the challenge is "Here Comes Summer."  We'd like to see your summer projects, and don't forget to use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffies stamp!

I have used the House Mouse stamp called Frog Floating.  I have colored it with copics numbers:  E11, E18, E35, 100, G17, YG03, B00, B91.  

The card base is a dark blue that I have done some faux stitching on.  I have made some die cut circles and cut them out and distressed to make lily pads.  The pink lily pad flower was made from some flowers pulled apart from flowers that I got from a local craft store.  

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life - circles

Hooked on Crafts - anything goes and a DT call

Just Add Ink - just add some coloring in

Thanks so much to the Design Team at House Mouse and Friends for having me on as a guest designer!  I had lots of fun!
