This week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge was a tough one.  I spent more time than I care to admit on this card, well not the card I actually am showing you but the many others that ended up in the recycle bin.

The challenge was to use the sample on page 119 of the Stampin' Up! catalog as inspiration.

Please say you can see the layout in my card. One of the new products I used is the Delicate Lace Edgelits, in Whisper White card stock.  There are 3 different edgelits in this set and they are all beautiful.  This is an edgelit so you can make it as wide as you need because just the edge cuts.  The card base is Flirty Flamingo which was an In Color but is now part of the Brights Collection.  The sentiment is from the Accented Blooms stamp set punched out with the Tailored Tag punch.

The stamp is  Jar of Love.  This is a much loved and used stamp set and dies.  It was great fun to pull them out and use them again.  I have been consciously trying to mix new products with items I have that are still current from past catalogs.  

I hope you will join in the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #516.  I really would love to see what you create using the card on page 119 as inspiration. Be sure to stop by and see what the other members of the design team created.  They always have fabulous ideas and cards.
