EBTKS CHALLENGE #11

Hello everyone. Just in to submit my post for the ebtks challenge. I can't miss their challenge and I just don't know why I have fun playing along them so heres the sketch...
This sketch is inpired my kelly's craft room go over to their blog to know more EBTKS.
Here's my card to the sketch...

This is a standard size card just flipped horizontally. For the bigger circle I cut out a heart from a scrap pattern paper I had. Adhered it to a card stock and then for some interest I adhered card stock vellum underneath with foam adhesive.Then just glued it down to a white card stock and drew some stitching lines along. For the scalloped border I first trimmed down my card just about an inch. Then I placed clear acetate. The part that was trimmed down I cut it just a little short and then glued down a strip of a pattern. After that I just placed the trimmed edge back on the acetate. Pretty fun to make.
I hope your not bored by now reading my typicals ways of making a card :)
I'm off to a long walk good bye for now

Blog Hop Combo Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone hope all of you had a fun weekend. There's a blog hop going on SPCC.Go over to check it out and be inspired and win prizes :)Blog Hop Combo . So the color combo
Pretty easy color combo but to use some thing  recyclyed was a bit challenging becuase it is a go green blog hop.
I recycled a box top.
First I painted the box top with some blue paint. Then I didn't have turquise ribbon so I just took my white satin ribbon and inked it in turquise ink. Then I sewed it and stick it up to the box top. The Happy Birthday is a stampin' up retired stamp.After stamping it on a textured cardstock it gives the distressed look not perfect. I live in dubai so we don't have stampin' up over here. Whenever I go to the states I just fill up one of my suitcase with supplies :D, .... In the end I just cut out some hearts and took out a butterfly from my sticker stash.Sorry I can't stop myself from the stiching lines they just add this last touch :)

Oh and the blog hop I did that before making this card to be inspired and thanks to the DT I was inpired
Hope you liked it.Enjoy the week Have fun!
