Hello, everyone! It's time for the mid-month reminder for the challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog. The theme is: For A Special Lady. I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Mirtillamente.
Here is my card:
I think this will be the birthday card for my mom, who's birthday is next month. It all started with me being lazy and not wanting to take the time to print out an image from the sponsor. I happened to have one printed out on a piece of printer weight paper. Not really sure why as I always print them out on cardstock. But I decided to see what happened when I colored it up and I think it turned out really beautiful! So, I fussy cut it out and die cut a white card stock circle and adhered the image to it. I went looking for some purple patterned paper and came across this vintage-y pack I had forgotten about. They are all slightly textured and have a lot of really elegant, subtle patterns. I picked a purple and a green to accent the image. The gray ribbon is actually two quite small pieces that I pieced together behind the circle. To tie that in, I used a dark gray cardstock for the base layer. I stamped the sentiment and added a bunch of gray pearls to finish everything off.You have all month to play along. So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

This is so sweet with the moon around the circle. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Beautiful Blossoms :)
Hi Heather, a superb card for your Mum's birthday, love the vintage papers with your moon image, I print onto cardstock too, occasionally it won't go through, and I end up with a paper copy, maybe it is time for me to try plain paper. Thank you for joining us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, good luck in the prize draw... Megan DT LPoCF
