I have recently been inspired by a new blog Sentimental Sundays. The goal of their challenges is to focus on the beauty of words to compliment the projects. What a lovely idea.
This week they are on their second challenge and the theme is For That Special Someone. I didn’t really have to think for long who I would like to make a card for. I have recently been quite busy with birthday, baby, anniversary etc cards, torturing my lovely hubby to compliment me on all my creations lol ;). So I wanted to make something for him, just like that, for no occasion at all.
It was meant to be a surprise so to make things a bit more exciting I also hid some little surprises in the card itself ;-)! When you open the little doors in the heart there is a hidden message…
To compliment the sentiment I added some keys as embellishments which fitted in with Hels’s challenge at Sunday Stamper # 101 where you need to use a KEY in your artwork.
I (quite rightly!) expected my man to ask me why I made this card so I already had the answer prepared ;-)))
I made this tag for the challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog #3 Terrific Tag. Throughout the card you will see lots of gold and copper embossing and a few glitter accents on my favorite little butterflies, flowers and on the sentiment message. Oh, plus a few little sparkly jewels to spoil my fella (or a subtle hint for him to keep spoiling me ha ha ha!). So I also added this card to the Shabby Tea Room Challenge #8 Get your bling on.
May I say the card was well received and VERY appreciated! Unless I have the most polite spouse in the entire world! Lol ;-)
Ps. I had a little “partner in crime” ;-) My cat Kropek (Polish name for spot/patch) sometimes supervises my crafties. If my artwork is up to his standards he will happily chew my creations up if I turn away for a split second. Artwork no good, he won’t even sniff it. I had to fight with Kropek over the card, that’s how I knew it was ready for presentation…;-P

The tag is pretty! Love that flower, is that Martha Stewart?
Thanks for playing along with us at CCCB, nice to see you again this week!
Hi Joanne, I am just thrilled to have you come out and play with us. I love the whole sentiment challenge..I hardly ever add sentiment...I figure I should keep them plan and then add a saying later for the right occasion. I should get out of the mind frame, because it is not like I don’t have a supply to pick from..LOL..Now to this wonderful card of yours..WOW-ZA that is one beautiful card. Such detail and I am really loving your colors and embellishments. Wonderful vintage feeling to the whole thing..Bravo, one of my faves this week {{clap clap clap}} Ok, here is a heads up and a personal invitation to our PARTY :)
Where: MMSC53 Post

We are celebrating next week with a Dance Party? Do you have the moves? Better get that Party dress out of the Dry Cleaners and dust off those dancing shoes. Party will last all week and we will have a Dance contest, door prizes, best dressed etc. Don’t miss out on all the fun and be sure to loosen up those hips. Oh and it’s BYOB (Bring your own bootie) lol {{Shake}}(_|_)(_\_)(_|_){{shake}}(_/_)(_|_)(_\_)(_|_)(_/_){{skake}}your bootie.
