Well, we started the week off running.  I, finally, got all that laundry done.  To be fair, though, my little one got pretty sick and gave me lots more to wash.  She's still delivering extra laundry but is resting well, now, which makes it a lot easier for me to be her nurse.  Sleep, always, makes me more present ;).  All that aside, I've got a fun, little, thank you, for you all, this morning; and I'm so excited that it, finally, got my new, Hero Arts', Friendly Flags, stamp set inky.

I started, this card, by trimming the bottom of a piece of yellow, polka dot, glitter paper with a punched strip of textured, Whisper White cardstock; machine stitching a white-threaded, double, straight-stitch frame around its top and side edges; and adhering it to the Pink Pirouette, cardstock, card face, which had been distressed with Moonlight White ink.  I, then, wrapped a peach ribbon, around the card face, between the two, paper connections and tied it, in a bow, just right of center.

The banner pendants were stamped, in Apricot Appeal, Pink Pirouette, and Barely Banana inks, on Whisper White cardstock...

hand cut out; adhered, arched, across the top of the card face, with dimensionals; anchored with silver, star brads, embellished with crinkled, white, seam binding ribbon...

and dressed up with clear gemstones.

My color inspiration, for this card, came from Create For Fun's Color Challenge #9.

Thanks for peeking in!  Have a wonderful Wednesday, ya'll!
