Designs by Lisa Somerville: My Everything

I started this card last night, but just now got around to putting on the finishing touches, as I took my 16YO to the DMV to get his license. Happy and nervous for him all at the same time, now all he needs to do is find a job to pay for his insurance!

I started out with MoJo Monday Sketch #204, taking a few creative liberties, then added in the Anything Goes Challenge at the Kraft Journal (must use Kraft CS or something from their store), the colors from the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Girly & Gutsy (colors Pink, Black and Mustard Yellow (I used Straw) , and this weeks Grungy Monday 20 - Use Distress Stickles. I added the stickles to the Cheery Lynn French Pastry, Butterflies and Flourish dies. Sponging all edges with Ranger Scattered Straw Distress Ink.

The beautiful verse is My Everything (RR1005-E) from Verses Rubber Stamps. I had my DH in mind when creating with this verse, as I thought it would be perfect for our 20th Anniversary in October. Yes, a little on the frilly side, but it's made from the heart!

Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Distress Ink Scattered Straw
Card Stock - Kraft, Vanilla, Black
Other - Webster's Pages, Cheery Lynn Designs Dies (French Pastry, Exotic Butterfiles Small, Victorian Romance Flourish), Distress Stickles, Glue Dots, The Sticky Thumb Dimensionals, Spellbinders Circle Dies, Non Stick Craft Mat, Ink Blending Tool, Gems
