This weeks PPA challenge is Brads...
oh wait, that’s not the picture... its this one,
I created my card using the Paisley Petals DSP.
Did you know you could bleach your Victorian Crochet Trim to nearly snow white? Sure can, the longer it sits, the whiter it gets. Its doesn’t look as white as it actually in the photo.
My flower is made by punching a border along a 12” length of DSP and scoring at approx 1/4” across. I had to do a little shifting on the Scor-Pal so the score lines would be between each scallop and then on center of every scallop. I did a little fan folding and glued it down onto a 1” punched circle with Tomboy Liquid Glue.
I placed the Ice Circle Rhinestone Brads about midway on each side of the front and one as the flower center.
The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes surrounded by the Modern Label and Word Window Punch. The butterfly body is accented with Basic Pearls and punched with the Butterfly Punch. The wings are popped up with Pop Dots.
Well, I have a neck update for you... I have been referred to a different doctor and my appointment is June 1st. I am so disappointed that I’m not better. I am sooooo fed up and discouraged. I do appreciate all you wonderful comments and well wishes. Please know I read them all and I will visit your blog as soon as I can. It is a battle I will win! Thank you so much!!!
I hope you enjoyed my card today and I hope you will play with us at the PPA!!!

Brads and abs!! Sigh! Thanks for the chuckle, Carla, love your sense of humor! Your card, as usual, is beautiful. TFS your tip on the trim also. GOOD LUCK on 6/1 with your appointment; hope they can provide the help you need.
You are so funny, I cracked up when I saw "Brad" (hey nice abs!). Thanks for the humor! Lovely, lovely card, fan flowers are terrific and I appreciate the hint about scoring. Take care, I hope the docs figure out what is going on with your neck!!
Only you, sweetie! LOL The card is gorgeous! But then I've known before you shifted to SU how incredibly talented you are.
As to Brad... well it's not nice to tease me when hubby's away!
Healing Blessings sent your way and will be thinking of you on Wed.
You are the Queen of always making the prettiest blue cards ... my favorite color but don't use it much! This beauty is right at the top of my best ever list ... love it Carla!
Thinking of you and missing you too! Hope you are feeling a little better.
Carla, very pretty "blue" card, love the flower, but like everyone else... especially like the first inspiration photo, very funny!
Hi Sweet Carla! Your card is as scrumptious as its inspiration photo, LOL! Sorry I've been MIA. In the middle of my move but had to drop in to say hi! XOXO
