I wasn't sure I was going to have a post today because of printer problems and a glitch in my camera's downloading software. I couldn't get anything out of the camera and into the computer hard drive. But that's resolved now, and so I get to tell you about the new challenge today over at Perfect Sentiment. We have two magnificent sponsors this week; Crafty City, which will have a Gift Certificate for one winner (US only) and Pattie's Creations, which is giving away 3 free digis!
For our theme, we want to see you do a card with a sentiment of encouragement for someone and also use ribbon. Pattie's Creations supplied images for the DT to use and I chose Mom and Baby Polar Bear for my card. Nothing is more encouraging than a parent teaching a child. :-D
I feel like every card I've done in January is blue and white, but it's such a perfect color combo for anything depicting chilly weather. Besides, my friend, Lynn, will absolutely love it! She's the queen of blue combos. :-D
The snow/ice, sky, and dusty white on the bears are done using chalks, and the shadowing on the polar bears is done with markers. The sentiment was printed with a computer font. The ovals and circles are die cut and matted with black. The papers are from my stash and I don't even know how long they've been there. I used two different ribbons, layered together, and they are both from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The flower embellishments are either hand punched and layered together or from my stash of Prima roses.
Challenges:
613 Avenue Create -- Anything goes
Allsorts -- Dies or Punches
Card Makin' Mamas -- Anything goes
Crafts 4 Eternity -- Moody blues

I have one more post today but it's running late because of the camera problems so check back later for my post using the Outlawz Wednesday sketch.
In the meantime, won't you come along and play in our "Encouragement with a Ribbon" challenge at Perfect Sentiment this week? I'd really love to see what you create and share with us. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

My card is based on the sketch from Hanna and Friends this week.
