Hi, ladies! So far, my school year is off to a smooth start, although I'm a little sad that we still have two weeks until Labor Day! I'm hoping to get a little more crafty time in as we begin to settle into a routine. I miss my daily blogging and hearing from all of you! Today's card is a two-fer, combining this week's Card Patterns sketch with Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15. I wasn't too sure about medium pinks in the way of cardstock, so I opted to add some fun pink pearls instead. I really like the way the stamped swirls look with the pearls sprinkled on top. What do you think?
Stamps: Baroque Motifs (SU)
Paper: Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla, Melon Berry
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: scalloped edge punch, ribbon (PTI), Nestabilities butterflies, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, pearls (Kaisercraft)

I am not a huge fan of the color palette for this week's challenge but you rocked it. Great job on the CC!
Pearls or rhinestones are a perfect way to add that little touch of colour. They are my fav embellishment because they can be added at the very end wherever you're missing that special something. Love the motif stamp.
Way to go! Love it girl! Great take on the CP sketch!
really pretty!
Ann, I am so glad the school year is off to a good start. This card today is awesome!!
So glad your year has started off well!! Must be quite an adjustment though after having several weeks off!
Gorgeous card Ann.
Glad to hear your first days were smooth. Hope it continues!
Take care xx

Hey Ann I miss your daily blog posts too!
Great take on the RSCC, I was unsure of the medium pink too but I'm putting the finishing touches to my entry (lemme tell you that it's got the smallest amount of medium pink on!)

Hello, fabulous blog-goddess AND teacher extraordinaire! WOW, girl! How do you do it ALL!?! This card is exquisite, sweetheart! I love how the melon berry pearls just provide enough contrast and delicacy to accent your card perfectly! Gorgeous work, sista!

I think it's perfect and I love those pearls for the butterfly's body.
This card is sophisticated but not overloaded - the stamped swirls are great, and I agree with you on the pearls.
