Happiness Never Decreases By Being Shared

Happy Monday, everyone and Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day to all of my fellow Americans!! It's time for another fun challenge at Craftin Desert Divas!!


The theme this week is Shaped Cards. Our sponsors are:



The papers for this card are from Pink Paislee's Cottage Farms stack. The base and next two layers are Spellbinders Resplendant Rectangles. Each layer was popped up with foam tape.


The ribbon is from May Arts. The outer circle is a Spellbinders Picot Edge Circle die. A Spellbinders Standard Circles Large was inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink and popped up with foam tape. I think the sentiment is from Artistic Outpost, but I'm not positive.


I am entering this in the following challenges:
  1. DL.Art - January Linky
  2. Just B Creative Crazy - January Linky
  3. 2 Creative Chicks - Anything Goes
Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Craftin Desert Divas to see the amazing projects my talented design team sisters have created for today's challenge, then Craft It Up & Link It Up!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

    My sweetest friend, this is truly spectacular! I LOVE how often you use patterned paper for your die cuts... that still scares me. It looks amazing in that rainbow of color! Each layer is so beautiful, with love papers, sparkly accents, and sweet detailing. The sentiment is fantastic and there can just never be enough wispy bows in the world. I keep staring at the beautiful floral paper.. it's like the most gorgeous garden. :o) Stunning shaped card as always, my dear Lisa! I hope I can play along. Have a sweet and sparkly night! :o)

    Hugs and blessings!

    Your S/B rectangle made a gorgeous shaped card. This series of S/B's were really so lovely & elegant, and you've used this Resplendant so beautifully to make this card. The addition of the Picot under the Standard circle made such a pretty focus for this rich card. As did the lovely papers & delicate sheer ribbon. Wonderful look. TFS & Hugs
