The Play Date Cafe #74 (and more)

Good afternoon!  I've been having such a good time visiting with my dear friends from Michigan that I haven't had much time for card-making this weekend.  My friend is also a stamper so we grabbed a little crafting time this afternoon!  This is the card I made for this week's challenge over in the Play Date Cafe (PDCC74).

Here is the inspiration photo for the challenge:


My card is also for the Prismas and Other Mediums Challenge (PM0324) on The Outlawz site where the theme was "sparkle and shine", interpreted any way you wanted.  I used this week's Sketch Spotlight Challenge (STVSKSP18) on StampTV for my layout.

Here is the STV sketch:


And here is my card for the challenges:


I started with a card base of SU Pacific Point.  I added a of GKD Layering Weight White that was embossed with the Cuttlebug Grace's Frame embossing folder.  I embossed a small panel with the CB Window Panes EF and layered that on Pacific Point.  My image is from the Gina K. Designs set, Seeds of Kindness and I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  I added a little sparkle with Spica pens.  The sentiments are also from Seeds of Kindness.  The image and sentiment panels were cut with Spellbinders Classic Circle Nestabilities.  I added some purple ribbon and gems (more sparkle) from my stash to finish it.

Hope you had a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!
