* Dance * Laugh * Love * Karen Taylor

Dance, Laugh and Love…three things that can lead to a happy marriage and make for a happy life…I enjoy those moments whether they are serious or us just being silly like inn this card I made for my husband Andy. Those are the moment I treasure…..live for.

I love that just like this card we can be a bit on the rough side but be perfect together.

For my card I started with Zutter’s and one piece of thier 7X5 Corrugated Board

I peeled the top

and added some Clearsnap: Mixed Media Inx by Donna Salazar Designs in Chiffon

and then inked the edges with the Mixed Media Inx in Leather.

I then “dressed” my Antiquities 6x6 square - Artistic Papers Collection by Donna Salazar with some Clearsnap Smooch Spritz in Sea Breeze and Colorbox Ink in Chocolate and Blueberry.

I die cut some Rose Creation flowers using my Spellbinders Paper Arts Grand Calibur and sprayed with Clearsnaps Donna Salazar’s Smooch Spritz in Candle light and Evergreen.

I distressed the edges using Zutter’s : Distrezz-it-All by Donna Salazar

I stapled a piece of lace to the bottom of the paper.

With Clearsnap Glue Gloss I accented the paper with Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter by Donna Salazar Designs.

I Smooch Spritz pom poms with Donna’s new Holly Berry…isn’t it wonderful!!

Inked the edge of my photo with Clearsnap Mixed Media Inx by Donna Salazar Designs in Leather and added the Rose Creation Flower and leaves that I accented with Clearsnap Glue Gloss and .Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter. I glued the photo and added and Nestabling Labels Eleven Silver Rhinestones by Want 2 Scrap.

I rolled some cut strips of the paper I pulled of the Zutter 7X5 Corrugated Board and adhered under the rose.

I inked the bare chipboard with the Mixed Media Inx with the Leather and put the title on the card.

I inked and glittered the Want 2 Scrap: Chipboard Embellishments - Pack of 5 - Style D 

Using the smallest of the Rose Creation flower I cut all but 2 petals and added a pom pom and formed a flower bud I added it to the curled cardboard forming a stem.

I cut a piece of cardstock and inked the edges with the Mixed Media Inx with the Leather

and added the embellished corrugated cardboard to the top.

I love this card and can not wait to give it to my dear Andy…to thank him for all the fun he has added to my life.

I need to make one for Donna for all the fun she had added to my life with THESE products that make creating a JOY!! I truly love them ALL!
