more luscious prima goodness

this time i've used shanna vineyard's gorgeous bonus sketch from 2 sketches for you:


(i had hoped to be posting this in addition to a card made from laura's sketch #49...but i ran out of time this week! )

the other night when i made the sketchy thursday pocket card, my plan was to cut some of the butterflies from the "flights of fancy" paper and place them in the diecut "window"...but then i found that sweet bird rub-on & went that way, instead. now i've come back to my first idea, and turned it into an anniversary card for my aunt and uncle.

(patterned paper: prima, love elsie, basic grey; chipboard word: ek success; florals: prima + vintage sprig dyed w/glimmermist; label die: nestabilities; border punch: fiskars; lace: making memories; glitter glue: stickles; other: sewing machine; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, gluedots)

i am down to my last few "inspirables" chipboard words by ek success, and it is bumming me out big time that they do not seem to make 'em anymore! i bet i have bought half a dozen packs of those over the years, they are just *SO* practical! they're exactly the right size for cards...self-adhesive...in a decorative but readable cursive font...and self-adhesive! they're made of glossy chipboard, in sort of "usefully neutral" colors; but are easily altered with paint, ink or even a sharpie! bye-bye, lovely word art...i shall miss you!

so what obscure but vital papercrafting products do *YOU* mourn the loss of?

(tell, tell!)
