Style is Eternal

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Sorry I've been MIA this week.  I've had some family issues to deal with and haven't had much time in the craft room or on the computer.  But I'm here now to share my first post as a full member of the Little Miss Muffet DT!  I am so thrilled that they asked me to stay on after being a GD for September!  We have a new challenge for you this week!  The theme is "simplicity".  All of you who know me know I love to pile on the layers and use lots of patterned papers on my creations, so this theme really was a challenge for me!

Here is my card:

I started with an A6 card base of GKD Heavy Base Weight White and added a half-panel of patterned paper from the Kaisercraft Chapter One 6.5 x 6.5 pad matted with GKD Black Onyx.  My elegant image is Evelyn from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Lime Green and Aqua Stickles to her accessories to make them sparkle and shimmer.  I matted the image with a Spellbinders Floral Oval diecut. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Retail Therapy set in Paulette's store here.  I couldn't help myself from adding a seam binding bow and a few iridescent gems from my stash to finish up my "simple" design.

Here is a close-up of Evelyn:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the new challenge on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from my amazingly-talented teammates and our awesome Guest Designer for October, Paula-Kay!  We hope you'll play along with the challenge!  And don't forget, if you use a Little Miss Muffet stamp, you can do "anything goes"!  You have until Tuesday, October 16 to enter your creation.

My card is also for the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp (glimmer and sparkle), Crafts and Me Challenge #104 (add a sentiment to front of card) and Totally Stampalicious Challenge (anything goes).

Have a great day and see you again soon!
