GOOD START

It's finally Friday.........everyone looking forward to the weekend?  Sounds like we are going to get rain on Saturday and Sunday, but that's what they are saying today, could change tomorrow.



Today's card is for the challenge at Penny Black and Friends Saturday Challenge #197, Spots and Stripes.


Card Recipe

Stamp - Penny Black - A Toast to You
Sentiment - Stampabilities
Papers - Echo Park Dots and Stripes
Baker's Twine
Die Cut Doily-Cheery Lynn
Sparkly dot stickers - Michael's
Colored with Copics
Red textured card stock base

I'd also like to enter this card in the challenge at Tip Top Tuesday-#74 - Spotty and Dotty.
My tip is this:  I had a very hard time cutting the intricate die cut from Cheery Lynn that I used on this card.  I have several of these with either the middle portion intact but not cut all the way through, or it completely cut the center out.  I finally got them to cut, with the use of their metal plate, but had several on hand that weren't  perfect, so I used it on this card under the image so I didn't have to waste them.

And the challenge at Pile It On #16 - Pop It Up - I cut out the image and the sentiment and popped them up.

Have a great Friday.  Thanks so much for stopping by for a peek.  Until later............
