Do You Know What I Wish?

Don't you love a sentence that starts that way?

The answer is always a happy one, right? 100% chance of a grin.

I was inspired today by... a wish. No dandelion, just a wish.

So I made this for Kristina's color challenge.

This dandelion layer is one of the new printed window sheets from the Occasions Mini, layered on black cardstock. Yes - acetate with lovely designs on it!

When I was at CHA and ran into Shelli, she asked me what I thought SU! had to have that I had seen there. I said "Printed Window Sheets." She smiled and said "Really? We don't have them in the catalog? I swear I saw some." *twinkle* I felt like I should keep that a secret, so I did. But now, the cat's out of the bag - and these are STUNNING.

Always one step ahead of us, Mrs. Gardner is. Grant wishes, she does.

The card base is black, the designer paper is from Urban Oasis, and a strip of self stick rhinestones. The "wish" is part me, part rub-on from the Christmas set. I used the DSP to hide the adhesive holding the window sheets on.

This is maybe a four second card. Leaving you time for your wishes!

Here's how we celebrated Caturday at UBlue Central. An empty schedule, a three hour nap, and a sleepy blogging companion.Have you signed up for the UBlue Cyber Club? Attended one of my Webinars?? Come on - get your geek on! :)

    This has to be one of my FAVORITE cards in quite some time. Of course it's the one that took four seconds!

    So pretty. Thank you for sharing. Happy Caturday Night!

    love it! i literally kept staring and staring at it. i thought it was digital at first and I SWEAR that the centers of the dandelions appeared to be moving - almost flickering.

    But then I kept reading - too cool about the meeting with Shelli.

    I LOVE this card! I think the dandelions look like fireworks almost- they just go so well with the bling and "wish".
