Celebration--Blog Candy!!!

I was slightly bumped off my groove yesterday---had my son at the dentist and found out that he needs to be put under general anesthesia for some dental work. He has major anxiety at the dentist's ever since he got a cap put on his tooth last year and his teeth need a lot of work (has a few cavities and a cracked tooth.)

I am so fastidious about teeth and it just kills me that he has all of these problems (soft teeth.) I feel for the guy and I was really down on myself last night figuring this must be my fault.......but this morning I woke up and I feel so much better. I know that in the scheme of things, this is nothing---it will all be over soon and he will most likely get more cavities but, hey, he is a healthy child and so we are celebrating!

But first, I have a card to show you:

This card is pretty straight-forward---the only thing I did besides stamp and color was to add the flower embossed vellum sheet over the background. I love the look this gave this card. And I think the flowers accent the image so nicely! The prima is colored with Copics to match the pink in the background. I added some Sakura stardust to all of the flowers and to the sentiment.

The main image is called "Rainin Daisies" by Penny Black. The sentiment is from a clear stamp set by Hero Arts and includes lots of beautiful sentiments and frames....(I will be posting some more samples of this set tomorrow!) Both can be found at Stamper's Dream stamps.

Materials used: Stamps by Penny Black and Hero Arts (both available at Stamper's Dream stamps); ink-black, lilac; cardstock-purple, pink, white, vellum; Copic markers; prismacolor pencils; odorless mineral spirits; cuttlebug and Nestabilities (circles, petite ovals), flower embossing folder; ribbon (May Arts); Sakura Stardust jellyroll pen; eyelets and Cropadile; white gel pen (SU!); dimensionals (SU!); slit punch (SU!); prima (bazzill); button (SU!).
