I haven't played along with a challenge in so long it was such fun to do these two! I combined two challenges for today's card. I used the sketch from the ladies at the Diva Coffee Break Designs blog as well as the colors for the Color Throw Down for this week!
I started out with a Whisper White card base and ran it through with the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I sponged the edges first in Certainly Celery and the in Perfect Plum. I added a thin strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock and stamped my image from the Very Thankful stamp set (#115338) in Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip using my SU Markers. I matted it first on Perfect Plum and then on Certainly Celery cardstock. I popped it up on Dimensionals and added the knot of Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot.
I love this peacock image! What's great about this stamp set is that it has a variety of styles (pretty, cutesy and more modern) and for every one of this stamp set sold Stampin' Up! donates $2 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. A great stamp set and a great cause!
Don't forget to check out last Friday's post so you can be put into the drawing for some Blog Candy!! :)
Hugs,

Beatiful! Very elegant!
