Supplies used :

Cardstock : pastel blue, white, patterned paper from papercraft inspirations, pink

Sentiment : Valentine wood mount stamp

Ink : faded jeans from distress inks

Other : Baker's twine, Cool Light Blue Pearl adhesive gems, light blue brads

Tools : Paper piercing tool, scalloped oval framelit, scalloped heart framelit, Stamp and cut flowers clear stamp and framelit.

This card is also posted in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card challenge.

I didn't really say anything in my last card post, so I will say something about this post.

I was looking on Papercraft Inspirations website where they have free downloads for patterned papers and sentiments. I saw this pretty patterned paper, so I printed it up and decided to use it on another card for this weeks card challenge.

I used my patterned paper with a pastel blue blank card. On the front, I used pastel blue with a scalloped oval framelit and then white paper with a labels framelit. If you take a close look, you will see that I used a paper piercing tool on the scalloped oval. I also used 3 light blue brads around the sentiment, which I used faded jeans distress ink and then I colored the word in using a pink colored pencil.

I decided to use a pink scalloped heart behind a stamp and cut flower with a cool light blue pearl adhesive gem along with baker's twine to give my card an added look. I also used the paper piercing tool on the scalloped heart to highlight it as well. 

Thank you for stopping by. Any comments and/or suggestions on how I can improve my cards is greatly appreciated...

I decided to be a little different with this card. I used framelits Labels Collection and red card stock for the shape of the card. I scored the left side of the front piece and then glued it to the back piece so it would open like a regular card. Then I cut out a smaller size of the labels framelit using white card stock to use as the background. I also used a scalloped circle using red card stock with a circle attached to it using white card stock. I also used a scalloped border punch, a flower punch, red ribbon, 1 red brad, and dimensional flowers and butterfly to make this card complete with the sentiment. I am using this card in the Mojo Monday card sketch challenge located at http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com.
