I used Random.org to choose a number which was Expressions by Elaine. Please contact me with your address so I can get the candy mailed off. Congratulations! And again, many, many thanks to all you followers. I just can't believe any of this...
And here is another card that I just finished.
We're now up to 6 weddings, can't wait until all these nieces and nephews start having babies! Advice, do not marry into a really big family unless you enjoy buying lots of gifts! My husband is one of 10 kids, and his dad was one of 12. We have nieces, nephews, and cousins coming out of the woodwork... I love them all, enjoy most of them, and wouldn't trade them for anything, but do we really need to buy gifts for everybody! In this family, yes! I've given in and am giving gift cards most of the time. Much easier, especially when shopping is so far away. Back to the card... I used Colorblock white cardstock, cut all shapes from Gypsy Wanderings, embossed with Swiss Dots and Elegant Flowers (I think that's the name?) and inked all edges with gold ink. The ribbons are from my stash, and I got the rings at the dollar store. Who knew that they'd have a good selection of wedding things? lol I think after looking that I'll add a bow to the top of the rings to hide the glue, maybe even put a ribbon through to the reverse side so that they cannot come off??? Hummm. I'm never satisfies, though I do like this. Oh, I patted the top layer all over with an embossing pad and used hologram embossing powder to give it an iridescent look. That was something new that I've been wanting to try. I realize this is not its intended use, but I like it anyway, and the way to reflects color from the ribbon.
We had sun this morning, but the rain clouds are building again. I hope the rest of you are having a respite from bad weather, and not getting sunburned!
