Hello, readers! How ya doin' so far in 2012? Are you still following your resolutions?
I am.
After recently visiting The Cheesecake Factory for the first time, I have resolved to try every kind of cheesecake they have. (Last week I had the Key Lime Pie Cheesecake, and this weekend I'm trying to fit in a slice of their Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake.)
It will require a lot of discipline on my part, but I believe I can make this happen! This is my year!!!
But enough about me, the star of today's post is a new challenge we have at the Lily Pad: Virginia's View. This challenge is the brain child of Virginia Lu, card maker fabulosa, and she's starting us off with this inspiration photo:
Here's my card:
S U P P L I E S:
Cardstock: Penny Black; Stamp: Penny Black (All Mine); Inks: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Ranger Distress (Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen, Milled Lavender); Other Mediums: Prismacolor Pencils, Platinum Pearl Liquid Pearls, Frosted Lace Stickles; Embellishments: pearls (Reflections), gems (Mark Richards); Fibers: unknown ribbon
T O O L S:
Nestabilities heart die, Vagabond, foam ink applicator tool
The prize for winning this challenge is your choice of two clear sets from Penny Black, so head on over and dive in! The challenge ends on Thursday, February 2, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
Thanks for looking and have a blessed day (and eat some cheesecake while you're at it)!
Love this card!!

I really like that you used gold instead of yellow for the bumble bees, it makes the whole card much more elegant! Thanks for sharing!
