Things are good here... looks to be a beautiful day. :)
I've got a card that I made for a couple challenges today... first up is the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge to use eyelets. This was tougher than you would think for me. Sure I've got a small stash of eyelets from back in the day but I hardly ever use them. So it was a bit of a head scratcher to see how I could make them fit into my design. I think they work well enough but if I'm 100% honest I think it's a safe bet to say they won't be showing up on any other cards for awhile. ;)
I also altered this Moonlight Whispers Posy stamp just a bit by wiping away her winking eye and drawing in a new open eye. Totally easy peasy and I like how it gave her a whole new look. :)
I also used this week's gorgeous Cupcake Inspiration challenge as the inspiration for the black/white/aqua/green color combo (I couldn't resist adding some violet in there too) and for all the butterflies flitting about as well. I think these two challenges came together quite nicely on the card!
Well that's all I've got today so I'm gonna get ready for work. Have a good one! :)

Adorable card, Amy! Love the bright colors. She pops right off that card! Love it.
Well, this is certainly up to your usual stunning standard! I was thinking those eyelets might come in handy sometime for the eyes... you, know, like if you want to make one of the Anya's a zombie or something...

Love this card Amy, your use of the eyelets, your coloring, your DP, sentiment and your flowers--everything, just so adorable!!!
the COLOURS! omg, Amy... they're fantastic, and they just WORK for this card. i'm with you on the whole eyelet thing. it has to be JUST the project to need them, or else they sit in a box. but i LOVE the purple ribbon (looks like a shoelace!) and that open eye!
Awesome card! TFS :)
This is just darling! I love it!
this is soooo cute, great card...sending you sunshine!
enjoy *~*
You did really well having to get out the eyelets, I don't even own any, but I know they were once very popular. The threading and the circle around the stamp is awesome, you did well on a very hard challenge.
WOWZERS Amy! I love, love her she looks gorgeous! And she is one of my favs now, but then every stamp is at one stage hehe! Your coluring is amazing as always and I love how you used the eyelets, I put this challenge in the too hard basket, lol!
Hugs Kel xx

Oh my gorgeous as always darling. Love the DP and the colours. Beautiful colouring as per usual. You make your stamps look amazing on anything you do.

SO Striking! Love the colors!!! Thanks for playing along with the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge!
Ain't this gorgeous! Eyelets? I have a ton too and it's just sitting there in my drawer! Heck, want them? hee, hee! I luv how you opened up her eye . . . she's adorable holding that bouquet of flowers!
Love your altering--you gave Posy a whole new look! And I must admit, I had to hunt for your eyelets! Soooo clever! I love it!
great card amy! that is a cute stamp and i would never have guessed that you altered her eye. great use of the eyelets. pretty cute card.
Wow Amy ths is stunning - great colour combo and i love the layout!
love tasha xx
Way to use your eyelets Amy, they look fabulous!! Now why wouldn't you want to use them again. I love what you have done with Posy, your hair colouring is phenomenal and what a great idea to draw in an eye. I would love to do that, but I can't draw to save my life, I'd just ruin my image. Wonderful job, thanks for playing with your Kraftin' Kimmie stamp.
oooooh so pretty! I love everything about this card!
Congratulations on your win for CIC. Beautiful image!
Haha! I totally feel the same about eyelets! That was sooo 10 years ago! You did a good job incorporating them into your design though.
This KK image is too cute! I really need to buy some. My KK wish list is really growing! Too bad I'm low on the funds. :(
