Again, thank you so much, Darnell, for your wonderful challenges, and encouraging all of us
to use our NBUS. I know I needed the push to get out some of my items in my craft room
that had not been used before. (Like this 4 year old stamp)
********************************************************************
I thought that this would be a quick 5 minute card to make NOT!!!
My NBUS item is my stamp! I purchased the set at a stamp show FOUR years ago, and I am finally getting around to using it. I lost the topper to the package, but I think it said that stamp is made by Hampton Arts ?
My hubby colored her face with Copics for me...R11, R29, R00, R000, RV000, T5
I paper pieced her hat and dress using Designer paper from Grapic 45, (Botanical Tea Collection)
I cut out the image using a Spellbinder die Nestabilities, Classic Ovals Large.
I added some Vellum to the background, lace, ribbon, brads, and a rose from my stash.

Darnell, I wanted to add this quote to the second card that I had added to your challenge.
the sunshine card that I made...And I forgot about this quote...
But this quote is for you.
"Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves."
~J.M. Barrie
I just hope that all the sunshine you bring to others...with your generosity,
lovely comments, and caring support you give to others...
is reflected back to you...
Blessings,
Jill

What a beautiful card Jill! I love that image, she is so elegant and you have dressed her up so pretty! Good for you for entering 3 times, I only entered once but have entered twice once before. lol I love that Darnell has these challenges because I have so much NBUS to get used. I don't know what it is that we keep buying it and filing it away to be forgotten. That's what I do at least. So I love these challenges as they get me to use my schtuff! lol Thanks also for your and Jim's support with all my hubby is going through. You both are amazing and I'm so thankful for your support. Have a Happy Blessed Easter!!! Hugs, Brenda

I love this fancy lady in her hat! Gorgeous and oh so pretty with the lace!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Jill, I apologize for being so late in coming to comment and thank you for playing for the third time in my NBUS Challenge #4. Life and Easter company got in my way this time, but I really appreciate that you came out to play with me and for all your very kind compliments and NBUS enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteYour pretty lady is sensational! And I mean "lady" in every sense of the way women used to be ladies. Ah, how I wish I lived then when women wore hats and gloves. I would have loved this outfit you and Jim made! (Hi, Jim!)
Thank you, too, for the beautiful quote - it make me blush. You are a bearer of sunshine, too, you know! I didn't fail to notice that you commented on most, if not all, of the NBUS entries this time - and way earlier than I did. Thanks again, my friend!! Big hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous feminine card--love the lace & every detail, Jill!
