Perfect Timing


This card is the result of the perfect timing of two of my favorite challenge blogs: Midnight Madness (sketch) and Lily of the Valley (thank you card), plus one blog new to me: Gltter Geeks (photo inspiration). I had already bought the paper on sale from Michael's, and immediately knew the California Poppy Thank You digistamp I had nabbed from Operation Write Home would be perfect for it, but I had no immediate need for a Thank You card, that is, until I came upon LOTV's challenge. So, with all three challenges in mind, I went for it, and the result is the card you see above. 

Recipe:

K&Company Watercolor Bouquet paper
Recollections Hot Pink Gingham paper
Recollections light blue pearl paper
C'oredinations yellow pearl paper
Spellbinders Nestabilities Lacey Squres 
EK Success border punch
Sizzix branch with leaves die
Copics
Button and Pearl Cotton thread from stash

Challenges:

Midnight Madness--sketch
Lily of the Valley--thank you card
Glitter Geeks--photo inspiration
The Poodles Parlor--Round and Round the Garden
The Stamp Man--anything goes with summer colors
Craft us Crazy--anything goes
