2012 is Almost here... But for now here's another Authentique card!

Yes another one!!

Paper is from the Gathering Collection and the saying is from the same collection on the Tabloid sheet.  Everything can be found on their blog by clicking the link above. 

I used some bling and that same ribbon from PTI! 

I did cut the bottom of the saying off and adhered it on an angle to the saying to add some different dimensions in there.  A also cut out a few more of the flowers and popped them up for that extra something! It's hard to see here but it looks great in person. 

Happy Stamping!!

Another Authentique Challenge Card!

Like I said I had a few cards that I made using Authentique papers and embellishments for their December Challenge. I think I will be using this sketch for some time to come. I just love IT!!!

So here is another card I made.

More paper from the GATHERING collection. This time I cut out some of the flowers and put a pop up under it to give it that little something extra.  

Make sure to check out all the wonderful talent over at Authentique! 

Happy Stamping in 2012!!
