limelight sketch 65

hooray! it's limelight papercrafts sketch day, and yet again, miss mandy has done us proud!


this time the product focus is on CHIPBOARD and i knew right away what i would use on my card. i've had a pack of these basic grey chip stickers from the "lemonade" line since they first came out, and i'd only used ONE; so it was definitely time to change that! and i did:

(patterned paper: basic grey, house of 3 for pink paislee; chipboard accents: basic grey (circle & flowers), k&co ("wish"); felt cupcake: american crafts; ribbon: american crafts, doodlebug; letter stickers: making memories; butterfly diecut: k&co; inks: martha stewart; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine)

i remembered the pack had that nice round flowery shape, which was perfect for the sketch; and then i couldn't resist adding the cheery sprig of flowers, too. the word "wish" is also chipboard, and came in a verrrrrrrrrrry cool crafty care package from the lovely miss leslie recently! (ta v much, missus! see, the "fussy gene" is payin' off already, lol!)


as usual, everything is on various layers of foam tape, either for support, or dimension, or both; and i've done a bit of machine stitching both for security (the layers of ribbon) and as a colorful accent (around the white panel); and that's about it, really, except of course you'll want the challenge details so YOUR card will have a shot at the *prize*...and here they are now... :)
