My daily reading list includes a fabulous blog,
Understand Blue, owned by Lydia Fielder(Lydia is the artist that designed my blog banner.)
Because of Lydia's post Monday, I found out about a very special blog hop she is participating in this week, one that really hit close to home for me as I have a daughter the same age as Jaimie
Cates. You can read Lydia's post and see her card
here. To find out what this hop is all about, please go to
the special blog that has been set-up to see how you can help Jaimie and her family.
Along the way, you will see some very talented and inspirational artists sharing their creations to help
Spread the Love. If you have the chance, please send a card to Jaimie to let her know that there
are people that care and wish her well.
My daughter wanted to help make a card for Jaimie, so this is what we came up with...
She water colored the flowers and butterfly and popped the large flower and butterfly on
dimensionals. It's hard to see, but she also used Twinkling H2Os on some of the flowers. We wanted to keep it simple yet cheerful. I think she did a great job!!

I made these for the last of the craft fairs, for this year anyway, that I participated in this past Saturday. 
These make wonderful little gifts for teachers, classmates, or co-workers. They can also be used for place settings at Holiday tables or to hang on your tree as a tasty ornament. :)
I used the same color scheme for this card and more Cottage Wall DSP. I inked the Upsy Daisy stamp with Pale Plum and then used a sponge dauber to add some Rich Razzleberry to it. The sentiment was stamped using Old Olive.

I used Elegant Eggplant, Close to Cocoa and Old Olive for the color scheme. The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla. The large Old Olive mat was run through the Big Shot using the Flowers Texturz plate. The corners on the sentiment layers were made using the ticket corner punch.
By mounting the card mat and the sentiment on dimensionals, it's easy to slide the bookmark on and off the card. The Old Olive piece for the top of the bookmark is a label from the Matchbox Bigz XL die, the "weight" on the bottom of the ribbon is a flower from the Filigree designer brad set. I stamped the butterfly from Great Friend on vanilla cardstock in Elegant Eggplant craft ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder before cutting it out. I dyed two of the half pearls from the Pretties Kit using Elegant Eggplant reinker for the butterfly's body.
