...:::Embellish the Cure:::...


Happy Monday, dear friends! Hope you all got your week off to a good start.

Don't have too much to say today...so let's move right onto the card. I absolutely LOVE this weeks Embellish Magazine challenge. The challenge was to use fuchsia, light pink, grey and rhinestones. Seriously, could there be a better challenge for me?! When I saw the challenge, I seriously wanted to start on a card right away. However, it was past 10pm and I knew I should be responsible and get some sleep. (No one likes talking to rude people on the phone!) After work I went to the gym (I'm SO determined to lose these 18 pounds!). However, while I was there, the only thing I could think about was this challenge! I ended up cutting my workout short so I could work on a card! Yes, I know, I'm a little strange....I blame Ashley for coming up with such an amazing challenge! :)

I'm pretty crazy about this card. Wish you could see the card in person...the rhinestones really make the card pop! I already have ideas on another card using these colors- I'm sure you'll see another card {or two} featuring this weeks challenge.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
