Getting Ready for OnStage!

It's that time: Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop AND OnStage Local.

I am so excited to be part of both events. What better card to feature for the blog hop than the one I am making for the card swap at OnStage? So, first I had to pick out which stamp set I wanted to use. That is not easy with all the choices in the Annual catalog and the Occasions catalog but I wanted to use up some of the Designer Series Paper so I picked that out first. It all came together in to this card:

Isn't it a beautiful day? Love What You Do is such a nice stamp set and that embossing folder is just the best.

This is pretty much how I started laying out the card. If I am having trouble designing a card, I like to set out the parts of card and walk away for a while. When I come back, if I like what it looks like, I am ready to put it together. If not, I rearrange some and figure out what I need.

The Lovely Floral embossing folder adds so much detail I hated to cover it up very much. Isn't it pretty?

I have added one little pearl out of the Share What you Love Artisan pearls. You know we have to embellish!

I will be swapping this card with very few people at On Stage because time is limited and I will only make about twenty cards. I am so excited to be going to San Antonio here in Texas. I live in North East Texas so it's about a 7 hour drive, way cheaper than flying.

Here's one more look at my Love What You Do card.
