You May Have to Dig Through Your Stash...

...to play along with us this week at the 4 Crafty Chicks.  Tamie is our hostess-with-the-mostest and she is challenging us to use brads somewhere on our card.  I will admit that I don't use them very often so this *was* a bit of a challenge for me.

I had such a great time playing along with the CR84FN Color Challenge last week that I wanted to do it again and this week's colors are AWESOME!  So, so pretty together:

I've also used the Week Three Viva la Verve sketch for May - you can find all the details over in the Splitcoast forum.  Amy did a fantastic job with this week's sketch:

As usual, I couldn't *just* follow the sketch - I added my brads down at the bottom and felt like the card *needed* some ribbon and a bow so I added that up by the sentiment:

Stamps: Hope Blooms (Verve)  Ink: Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry  Paper: Various DSP, Whisper White, Poppy Parade  Accessories: Lemon Divine Twine (TCP), Nesties, sponge dauber, button, Daffodil Delight satin ribbon, Sending Love brads (SU! retired)

I hope you'll stop by the rest of the Chicks' blogs to see what they have created with their brads - their links are to the left.  Have fun with this challenge - enjoy your week!
