Have you ever had one of those days when you were surrounded by "new" things which just had to be used right now? Yesterday afternoon was one of those days for me. I had received new die sets in the mail, new papers from a friend, and bought a new (to me) Sprite image from AuroraWings. It seemed a perfect time to use new things but I ended up combining them with old card stock, ribbon, and pearls which have been in my stash nearly as long as I've been alive! :-D OK, so for maybe 4 or 5 years but a long time.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image, then die cut it, deliberately cropping the image on one side. Then I used that same die set to cut the deep pink CS and inlaid the image piece into it. The light pink CS was cut with one of my stitched square dies from Lawn Fawn. I layered the image piece over that and mounted all of it onto some of my new dp.
I stamped the sentiment using white ink on black CS, then matted it with pink CS, hand cut and added to the card front. The three dark pearls were added in place of the stars shown in the sketch and I found the polka dot ribbon and tied one of the recently-learned bow ties, which I love nearly as much as the bows I sew together by the dozens.

I hope your weekend is going well and that you are enjoying either the great weather, or if the weather is lousy, then enjoy some crafting time since going outside is out of the question. We're on day five of 104+ temperatures and they say tomorrow will get to 108! I'm almost to the point of envying those places which are flooding. OK, not really but yes, you can bet your entire bank account that I'm staying inside, making cards and coloring. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I started with the sketch from the current challenge at My Favorite Things,
although my image is inside a square rather than an oval.
Remember, I just had to use the newest die set!
