I've been down with a nasty cold for couple of days now, but yesterday after a restless nap, I decided to make a card for the PTI blog hop. I received some new goodies this week so I decide to use one of them, Oh, how fun it is! I love dies! I am in the middle of organizing them. Maybe I will even do a post on it... hmmm... we shall see.
Back to my card... wanted to make something simple, but with my touch of messiness. For some reason, I have a really hard time leaving things clean and simple. Hence the ink splatters and cheeseclothes. What do you think?
Recipe: Rosie Posie, Background Basics: Retro, and Say It with Style clear stamp sets (PTI)... Cool Caribbean card stock (SU!)... Cool Caribbean, Certainly Celery, and Daffodil Delight (SU!) and Tuxedo Black Memento (Adirondack) ink pads... Cool Caribbean re-inker (SU!)... Rosie Posie die collection and Edgers #5 die collection (PTI)... Baker's Twine by The Twinery (my Etsy Store), Pearls (Michael's), Cheeseclothes, Copic Markers...
The lay-out came from CASE Study #83.
Thank you for visiting! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,
Monika

I thought for sure I had already commented on this beauty, but even if I did, it's definitely worth another comment! This is absolutely stunning--one of my favorite color combos, gorgeous shading on the flower, and that file folder edge is to die for. Thanks for joining us this week at CASE Study!

Oh my gosh, this is seriously beautiful! I love that the file folder part is the bright blue, and that rosey posey looks perfect in yellow!
