Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all a little update on Liberty.. She is doing much better.. :) We were having trouble getting her to urinate after her kidney reflex surgery.. but SHE IS PEEING! okay..I know that may not be a big deal to some.. but for us.. it's HUGE :) Thanks for all your thoughts prayers and well wishes..!!
-My card for you today is one that I thought of late last night before I fell asleep.. anyone else do that? Sit in bed and think of creations?:) Okay I am a Unique.. that's okay :)
All my papers are from the Cosmo Cricket collection Salt Air. (I LOVE Cosmo Cricket papers)..and these colors.. :) Cosmo Cricket is having a sketch contest going on right now too.. so I thought I would join in and use these amazing papers! :) Oh if you look at the bottom of the card.. those scallop circles float too :)
For the middle of the card I used my circle punch and made my own scallop center.. I guess you would call it.. The little white dots are .59 cent puffy paint.. (love this stuff.. ) I bent every circle to give it more texture and so it would almost fall like fabric.
The stamp "Hello dear friend" is from Unity's Could I Be Any Cuter set.. LOVE IT! I used my sewing machine and sewed around the card. Bakers twine to tie it up. Using Colorbox Cat Eye dark brown chalk ink, I distressed the card. I used stickles in the middle of the mini May Lilly prima flowers. To stamp the sentiment I used Unity's Burnt Amber ink pad.. Okay I am going to let you all in on a little secret.. shh.. don't tell.. when I was stamping my image I put to much pressure and got the "line" around the sentiment.. I was so bummed.. but knew I didn't want to make another card.. I mean.. who would want to start over right? So I placed some little white puffy paint dots on the "mistake." Who would have guessed that I LOVE how it turned out! Sometimes using our mistakes makes our creations have more interest!
Thanks for stopping by.. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.. HUGS

Hi Alison
So glad Liberty is peeing!!
Your card is amazing - wish I could come up with ideas like this just before going to sleep - lol. Love how the gorgeous papers fall and your cleverly disguised mistake is brilliant.

Alison, I LOVE this creation....those colours are so gorgeous....and yep....I come up with ideas just as I'm falling asleep, but then can't remember them in the morning...ha!
So glad Liberty is on the mend....must have been a worry for you. :0

What a pretty card! Thanks for the sweet comments you left on my blog :)
I love all the layers - both the circles and the papers behind! Super cute card.
Alison, this card is so beautiful! I love the colors, the puffy paint and the 3D feel of the card. Just lovely!!
what a super fub creation!
*love*!!!! this is amazing- and your white dots add the perfect amount of interest- they make your 'mistake' look intentional!! :D
Just love how you shaped the circles and the puffy paint dots are quite a contrast to the colours.
Glad to hear Liberty is doing well now, fingers crossed she continues to progress :)

I love curling little bits of paper too - so I know how long this took! Very cute result! Thanks for commenting on my blog - at first I thought it was my sister - she's Alison (with one L) too!
This is absolutely breathtaking, Alison! Punching and arranging all those circles must've taken forever. I chuckled when I read about you dreaming up card designs in bed. I sometimes come up with the best ones right before I fall asleep and then have to wake up and write them down! LOL
I don't think I was following your blog when your daughter had surgery but I'm so happy to hear she is doing better!
Awesome card! Love all of the detail in this masterpiece!
