Kendalyn's birthday is coming up and I wanted to make sure I had the right stamp/s to make her invitations. She wants a Princess party, and can you believe it, I don't own a SINGLE Princess stamp! So I gave her the choice of 4 different sets and she chose Alexa's set! Which was great because I wanted it anyway, plus the proceeds go to such a great cause!
If you want this set go to Missy B Designs
If you don't know Alexa's story, go here Alexa's Story
So just today I find out that Lauren is holding a contest for cards made with Alexa's set! Well guess what came today??? Yup! Alexa's set! I even broke Dr's orders and *drove* to the mailbox to get it! (Shhh! it's secret)
Well after I mounted the set on EZ Mount and trimmed it to my liking, I got to sit down and play! (The sitting down part is still a bit tricky, but I was too excited to care LOL!) I stamped the Princess in Basic Black and colored her with Prismacolors and blended it with Gamsol. The butterfly is also colored with Prismacolors and then I added some Diamond Stickles for bling! I just love using the Warm Words set in conjunction with Everyday Flexible Phrases, I think it's such a neat way to say what you want! The little flowers on the Word Window punched pieces are a hand held punch. I'm really excited at how this turned out!

Hi Laura,
It looks like I might be the first to comment on your card! I've never been first to comment before. I love your card. All the bling looks great and you're right, the sentiment is perfect. I hope you win the contest!
Good luck with your recovery. I'm sure everything will go well and you'll be up and about in no time.
Cheers.

Hi Laura, darling card. Good luck in the contest.
Hope your recovery is going well. I'm sure you are feeling like busting out and running and stamping! Take Care, Joyce
First, shame on you for disobeying doctor's orders! (ha ha) And second - SUCH a cute card!!! Love it! :)
Cute! I'd break the doctor's order to get the mail anyday. :) We all need mail! :)

WONDERFUL card, Laura. I'm glad to see that you were able to do some more stamping because I know what a chore it is for you.
Oh, that's awesome!! And little girl would LOVE this card. And good for you--I'd do the same and get my mail (specially being on RAK & Blogger's RAK groups!) :0)
This is adorable! The colors are perfect and I love the crown with the rhinestones in the corner! Good luck!
