Our theme this month is New Beginnings

I used a sentiment from Great Impressions Stamps and some seam binding ribbon from My Craft Spot.
The white paper with the word LOVE embossed all over the white was a wonderful fit for the card, but you can't see it much :(.

ABC Challenge with E for Embossing

For my card with ABC I used a newer Tilda. I love this Tilda as she can be used for more than just a Christmas theme.

I used a Couture Creations embossing folder on some purple caardstock. The ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Crop Stop. I used some lovely bling from the Unique Scrapbook Store. 

 

I also added some cheesecloth to add a little more to the card. 


And the last challenge I have for you today is


Our theme this week is

Well this happens to be my card for trying at the guest spot over at My Favorite Things. Every month they hold a challenge and you have to showcase your best skills. I love their a la mode stamps, which I am using here today. Not only do I love their stamps but their dies too. They have a ton and they come out with new stuff monthly. They have weekly challenges which are also fun.



I colored the image with my wonderful copics and embellished the card with com rhinestones and ribbon.
