Friday Morning Catch-Up!!

Good morning everyone!! My DH is getting ready to leave for another fishing tournament so guess what I am planning to do.....stamp, stamp, stamp!!!!! I may do a little online shopping, too....I haveta occupy myself somehow...right??? Anyway...here are a few cards I made this week for Splitcoast challenges...
The first card was for the Ways To Use It challenge to use pink because October is Breast Cancer Awarness Month. This is also for Wendy's Hope You Can Cling To challenge to use butterflies.


I used several shades of pink to stamp the flowers and butterflies from Rubbernecker's Create a Garden set 1 #512. The basket was colored with copics and the frame stamp from Rubbernecker called French Script Frame #583 was stamped on the outside. This is actually a one layer card but it looks like several!!
The bling on the flowers and the bow finish it off.
