Me, and The Last Minute...

...we're best friends, you know.  I have had the best of intentions to play with this challenge or make a card for that challenge.  Life forces it aside, and in some cases, forgotten.  This time around it happened to be the lovely Paulina's Cutting Edge Blog Hop over at Pretty Pink Posh.  Here it is, the last day to enter!!  Well, by golly, I am entering!


Here is what I came up with, using some fun new stuff from the i {heart} papers store:


Sadly, I don't own any of her dies.  Seriously, they are perpetually sold out (sad face), and I just can't score me some.  So, I dug in to the stash of a million dies, and used the fun new Kudos set from Paper Smooches.  To begin, I took a trimmed white panel, and partially die cut it (leaving it connected to the panel).  You will need a ruler, and a craft knife to trim the excess.


I set that aside and took a white card base, stamping the flower clusters from the Blossoming Buds set, and coloring them in with Copic Markers.  I then took the set, I Blank You, and selectively inked one "you" I thought matched well enough, in Onyx Black.  I popped the panel up onto the card with foam, and added a few black pearls.


Thanks so much for popping by today, I appreciate it!  Have a great day!
