After way too many mock-ups, I finally have a card I think is worth sending to Jaimie Cates as part of the Spread the Love blog hop. I wanted the card to be well done so as to convey the amount of Love and Prayers that are being sent her way from the fabulous crafters that have joined in the hop. I found this week’s sketch at Papertake Weekly to be perfect for my Sarah Kay image.I used a Sarah Kay image that I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with my Prismacolor blender marker.  She is matted on Navy and Blue CS from my stash.  I used an EK Success Wrought Iron corner punch on the mat and stamped the sentiment (SU) using my stamp positioner after I had adhered the image to the mat. The DPs are from Stampin’ Up (I used my Big Shot and texture plates to emboss both DPs); the card base is Bazzill. Narrow white grosgrain ribbon hides the transition between the DPs.  The bow was tied using one of the fabulous and easy Fork Tutorials available on the net.  For a finishing touch, I added some MS half-back pearls.

Before I close, I wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow (Monday, November 9), is the last day of the blog hop and the last day to enter for a chance to win my blog candy. If you haven’t entered yet – see this post for the details.

Have a Blessed evening!
