Day 128 - Card Recipe

you guessed it... another 365 Cards challenge. using a prescribed recipe is often hard - sticking to just a few ingredients can be so limiting! but tonight i just grabbed some great patterned paper and voila, i had it done! it's weird that i've made this card already tonight because the new 365 posts happen at midnight eastern time, which is only 9pm for me! i set this to upload at midnight my time, so i won't be able to add my URL to their site until the morning... oh well! not as high up on the list as i'd like, but what are you gonna do? take it easy all!

ps. hey, i just discovered a great place to win some blog candy... check out Addicted to Paper's blog and enter to win by leaving a comment by july 15th. easy peasy! and i'm telling you, there's a huge pile of stuff to win! i almost don't want to share the news - it lessens my chances! hehehe!

you can also enter to win a set of copic markers here, at the "Stampin' Up! My Way" blog. that would be fab, cuz i don't own a single copic!

stuff used:
paper...
Autumn Leaves - Le Fleur by Rhonna Farrer
white cs
stamps...
Scrappy Cat - birthday wishes
ink...
Brilliance - pearlescent lime
extras...
Esprit craft ribbon - light green
Royal Langnickel - glitter butterfly rub-on

cheers!
