wishing you well|Stick It Down.

Happy March! Man, this year is flying by! Today is an exciting day - besides being one month closer to spring - I am featured on the Stick It Down challenge blog with my card for the March sketch! Here was the sketch:

 Here's my card:

I used ink blending + a stencil for the background.  For the two blocks in the sketch, I used one of my new DieNamics dies to die cut the flowering branches. Where the purple ink blending at the top of the card is, I decided to use a distressed star stamp and heat emboss it with a purple embossing powder.

Then I tied on some pink ribbon at the bottom where the pink ink is blended. For the final step, I used my Spellbinder's Grand Calibur die cutting machine to cut the sentiment frame. I heat embossed a a stamped frame around my sentiment and then stamped my sentiment with VersaFine.

I added a small purple bling on the corner of my sentiment frame and my card is complete. Hope you find some inspiration in my card and you'll play along with us this month! You can link up HERE and these are the guidelines:

1. No back linking. Your project may be combined with other challenge blogs, but must be created after our sketch is posted.
2.  Link back to Stick it Down from your blog post.
3.  You can rotate, flip, or alter the sketch, but we hope to see how the sketch inspired your creation.
4.  Please follow the sketch format, single page layouts for single sketches, etc....traditional only, no digital!
