Hi There! Thanks so much for the positive feedback about Scott's handy work with our my blog :) He truly is gifted with his techie knowledge & abilities! If there is something that doesn't look quite right, please feel free to email me :)
I had a little "me" time today so I made this Thank You card using a few of my favorite products. I love the versatility of Claire's background stamps - not only can they be used for stamping your own "custom" DP but for adding that lil' extra something to embellishments like the butterfly on this card. I inked up an image from Musical Backgrounds with SU Basic Gray ink, stamped then using a Spellbinders™ Nested Butterfly die template to cut/emboss a butterfly embellishment - topping it off with a pearl brad in the center of an obnoxiously bright green fabric flower.
Supplies Used:Stamps: Waltzingmouse Musical Backgrounds, Off Beat Backgrounds, Rescue Remedies Additions, Very Vintage Labels No. 4Die Templates & Machine: Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® S4-114 Standard Circles LG, S4-242 Big Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite, GC-001 Grand Calibur

Wonderful card from your inspiration photo Mona! love the blue and green and added sparkle of silver!
Awesome use of the colors! I love this card Mona!
Working the colors very nicely, Mona! Perfect green in my humble opinion and I just adore your pretty butterfly and fabric flower! Gorgeous!
MONA!!!!!!!!!! This card is absolutely STUNNING!! I love that glittered scallop! I have a square that is glittered--but this is FAB! I love love love everything you make! You are so amazing:) THANK YOU for playing along with the PDCC:) Seeing your artwork is so amazing!! Great job:)
Wonderful use of this weeks colors. Your blooms looks lovely in the center of the music sheet covered butterfly. Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
Stunning is the best word I can find to describe your latest! I oh so love that glittered frame; so fun! And that fabric flower is amazing. Who would have thought to combine that with such a lovely butterfly. Love that music stamp too! There is nothing obnoxious here, lol!
I was thinking this was way out of your normal colour world, but I LOVE it!! I think you did such a great job, I am glad someone forced you out of your box - and I can say that because you know I love what you make when you're in your box!! hahaha...
Every time I see someone use the polka dots it makes me want that set.......
And I am SO excited for previews to start!!!
Fabulous card Mona especially that gorgeous fabric flower! Fine job with the colors too!
Oh my, Mona! I think your style is so lovely! This card is such a vintage treasure! My favorite part is your gorgeously creative butterfly with that stunning fabric flower! What an interesting combination!
Great color combo, very pretty!
Great card, Mona! You did fantastic with the color challenge! Love the new blog look, too - very fancy!
So very beautiful!
Mona, you are one of the few that can pull off the glitter technique so well. I love this beautiful frame and the sentiment within! And your fabric flower is so fabulous! Great job with this card!
I also need to tell you that I love the changes here on your blog! TFS!
Very nice. I love it!
Gorgeous card Mona. You did very well with the colors. I love the butterfly done in the musical paper and your flower is really cool with the gem inside. Those blue cupboards in the inspiration piece are pretty funky! o do a close up, they looked like milk crates, lol. ~Diane
Beautiful - I love that colour combination. Do you remember that old saying "blue and green should never be seen without a colour inbetween" - I never could understand it as I think blue and green look great together.
Super beautiful and chic, Mona! Love that fabulous stitching and wonderfully shabby flower! You did a great job with the colors, sometimes it's good to work outside our "creative zone" to see exactly what we're capable of...and ususally we're pleasantly surprised :) Thanks for joining us at the Play Date Cafe!
I love the beautiful glittered frame, Mona! There is just too much to love about this card! No problems with the colors; they look great! Great choice with the fabric flower on the butterfly! Stunning card!
So nice to see your name pop up this morning as an entry and it's so wonderful to have this creation hanging in The Cafe gallery : ) You really made the colors work in Mona-style!
Mona, I love your take on these colors! A slightly kinder and gentler version! Your fabric flower is such a gorgeous touch and I absolutely love the sliver glittered frame! It really draws your eye to the beautiful sentiment! TFS!
Mona, this is scrumptious! Fabulous dimension and textures! Really impressed with the different colors of sewing stitches. You have to rethread for that, right? LOL! It is an extra effort detailing that I totally noticed. I am just venturing more into sewing machine stitching. Totally rocked the inspiration picture!
FAB.U.LOUS - wow your blog is stunning!!!!!! Pat on the back that man!!! Perfect match for your Stunning cards Mona!!! This is one COOL blog!
Love this gorgeous card. YOur butterfly is fab and so is that incredible shabby flower! You did a marvelous job on the color challenge! Love it!
