"You Are Amazing" CTMH card, and CANDY winner!!

Those who are my Facebook friends may have seen this card I posted there first. I made it using a sweet stamp set called "Love Blooms", from Close To My Heart, stamping the base images of the rose petals with CTMH White Daisy pigment ink onto kraft cardstock.  

I then stamped the rose petals atop the White Daisy ink, in Hollyhock ink, and also stamped the rose outline stamp atop that using the same Hollyhock. (It looks darker because there is no white underneath).  

The butterfly is from a stamped image swap I received from a Facebook friend, that I colored using Copic markers. The ribbon is the FABULOUS new "Rumple Ribbons" from LoveBug Creations.  The white ribbon is edged in Panther Pink ... so pretty....   The sentiment stamp is from the "Just the Right Words" collection by Becca Feeken for Just Rite Stamps. 

Now that I am retired, I will be going back to being a consultant for Close To My Heart. So if you're looking for this stamp set, beautiful pigment inks, kits, papers, or the EXCLUSIVE Cricut Artiste or Art Philosophy cartridges, I'd love to help you out!   

..... and now I have the pleasure of announcing my blog candy winner from this weekend's Disney-Pixar Blog Hop:
