Love beyond words

Hello,

{So honored to have this card mentioned as an Honorable Mention Cup of Tea 7/2/12}

It has been one busy week in our little world. My son has enjoyed building his soccer skills this week. We have been going to a mini British Soccer camp. He has liked it so much that I think I am going to look into sending him to a half day camp in August. They are so awesome with the little ones and they have such a great approach to teach them skills while having fun. 

Here is a little card I have made during one of the nap times this week! 

I started with a white card base and inked the edges with tea stain. I pieced together my  patterned papers to include a light pink news print patterned paper scalloped border. I took a length of white grosgrain ribbon and wrapped it horizontally around the card front adding a length of white seam binding just above that tying off in a multi-loop bow adding a button, twine and memory stick pin for an embellishing touch.  A sentiment was added to the right corner.

A chipboard butterfly was painted in Lemonade yellow craft paint and then lightly sanded for a distressed look adding two white paper roses to the center. Various butterflies was stamped in Barely Banana ink to create a pretty custom patterned paper. 

I found inspiration for this card from The Shabby Tea Room color challenge - Soft and Sweet. So nice to pop in for tea this week as it's been while since I have been able to join in. 

Thanks for popping by! Sorry for not getting around blogland like I would like, but it's just busy times right now. I promise I will be visiting soon!
