Dare to B Fabulous! Not You, Though: YOU Already Are ...

Pin It



Today's card project was created for the "Stamping Challenges to Love" bling challenge, but I got distracted, (oh, look, something shiny!), and didn't get it posted in time. So, I'm sharing it with you. Just you.

All the DP used here is from DCWV's "Rock Star" collection ... a kewl collection to have kickin' around; especially if you have teenagers. 'Cuz this is like, "rad" ... or something ...

ONward-Hoarding-Card-Makers:

There's nothin' better than a multi-purpose greeting card: I could send it to any one of you, my fabulous imaginary friends, OR use it as a girly-girl Halloween card. I {heart} this kewl skull bling from MAMBI; I also {heart} the glitzy-and-shiny flowers from the always amazin' Mel. I also {heart} Mel. What I don't {heart} is applyin' these four-part, self-adhesive skulls ...

The chicken wire stamp is from Art Impressions and the ticket stamp is a self-mounted job I snagged years ago on eBay. I think it's from Limited Edition but I wouldn't bet my bling on it ...

I mounted the skull bling on a black mini-file folder, die cut two "B" letters, notch-punched the corners, clipped the word from the DP, added some ribbon, and mounted everything on dimensionals. [breathe ...]

Okay, now this is scary: today is "National Beheading Day!" Yikes, I sure hope they mean marigolds!! Ummm, does anyone besides me think it's spooky that I posted a skull on National Beheading Day? I honestly didn't know that when I started this post ... honest! No, really-honest-honest!

On that cheerful note, I'll take my leave ... I hope you'll be-headin' back to my blog again tomorrow!
