Head on over and see what the DT has for you this week

Hello My Classy Cards 'n Such friends.....

We have a fun  (and pretty, too) challenge for you this week

using the gorgeous Inspiration Photo below.

I designed my card with two of my newest dies in mind.

As soon as I saw these dies I asked Beverly to order them for me.

She has both "in stock" right now, so don't miss out!!

Oh wait, I bet you want to know what I am talking about right??

The first die is what I used for my "base" to build on.

It's called "Billies Circle" by Joy Crafts...

I have a love for lattice dies, so intricate and detailed, and this one

has both...beautiful!!

The second "new" die is also a Joy Crafts called "Ribbons and Bows".

This in an interesting die, as you could weave ribbon through it if you wanted to,

or do as I did, and just lay a piece under the die for a contrast!

I added a flower I made with a Cheery Lynn Designs die "Judy's Blooms".

(Did you know that right now ALL Cheery Lynn Designs dies are on sale?)

I colored my flower with Susans Gardens "PanPastels Flowering Coloring Kit"

 using the colors Magenta and Permanent Red

Using "Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive",

 I sprinkled a tiny bit of Sparkle & Sprinkle "Crystal Ice" glitter on for some added "texture"!

A few foliage "embellishments" were added to the flower using

 Marianne Die "Anja Leaves 2"

and Cheery Lynn Designs "Olive Branches".

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed today's post and will join us in our challenge for this week.

Don't forget, next week our challenge will be a handmade flower from the Susan's Garden

collection...need one...you may purchase one here, there is still time!

I can't wait to see "your" creations!!
