I have 2 amazing giveaways for you plus a freebie, but before I get to those giveaways, I want to share a card I created using items from Pro31designs.com.

I created this 6x6 card using white card stock for my base and pattern paper from the 

New London Market PinkPaislee collection.  I inked the edges with Frayed Burlap distress ink and distressed the edges of my pattern paper.

I added this gorgeous trim and altered it using Turquoise Glimmer Mist. I wrapped some twine around the trim and added my favorite flowers 8130's in turquoise & ivory; I also added 8050E flowers in brown. I distress all the flowers with Frayed Burlap Distress ink. I removed 3 layers of petals from the 8050E brown roses and created my own rose buds. I also tucked in 2- 3 Tone Wheat Sprays in brown to finish off my flower cluster as well as tucking in a flower cluster punch I punched out and altered with Frayed Burlap distress ink.

The last and final embellishment I added to my card is this super cute Stamped image by S.W.A.L.K.  She is from collection 1, and is called "Get Well Soon".  I did alter her just a little, I wanted her to look happy so I changed her mouth to a smile by just simply using a black pen.  She's stamped on Ultra Smooth Premium White Card stock with black Momento ink and colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

Markers used - Skin: FS2, FS3, & TN2. Cheeks: FS6. Hair: EB5, EB8, TN7 & TN8. 

Dress & Hair Bows: TB1 & TB2. Eyes: TB3
