Joan's Garden's Weekly Challenge #8 - JustRite Blog Hop

Good morning! Today I am sharing my project for this week's Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #8 and a special blog hop featuring JustRite Stamps!  I am so excited and honored to have been chosen by Joan and Selma to participate in this blog hop! 

Here is my card:

A few words about my project.  I started with a card base of SU Vintage Violet and some beautiful patterned paper from Webster's Pages Spring Market/Yacht Club/Country Estate Petite Papers. My main focal image is from the gorgeous JustRite set, Breath of Spring Borders & Centers. It was stamped on Cryogen White Iridescent with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers. I cut out the main image and mat with Spellbinders Petite Oval Dies.  I added some Liquid Pearls around the border of the oval frame and some May Arts wide Crocheted Lace Ribbon.  I finished it with two butterflies I punched from the same patterned paper pack with a MS punch.

Now here's the VERY EXCITING NEWS:  this week you have the chance to win an AMAZING PRIZE PACKAGE that you definitely won't want to miss out on!  JustRite Stamps has generously donated the GRAND PRIZE for Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #8 of 2011.  The prize package includes the following JustRite Products:
