I'm on My Time Made Easy's Pretty Patterns Design Team!

I'm happy to announce that I just accepted my first position on a sketch design team called "Pretty Patterns" by "My Time Made Easy". I'll be designing cards using their weekly sketches . I made the following card for this past week's sketch but since I was barely informed that I made the team this afternoon they recommended that I hold on to my card for the announcement of their new team members today. So without further adieu, here's my most recent card:

(as always, click to enlarge)

Here's the sketch I used:

I turned the pattern on it's side and used it that way.

Some close ups:

Hand-dyed seam binding (which I bought on Etsy) for the bow with Webster's Pages sparklers in the center. Here is a tutorial on how to hand dye seam binding with copics on Sharon's blog: Paperfections. I haven't tried it yet but I hope to soon... But first I need to get the various ink refills in colors I want.

The "bling" is Michael's brand called Recollections. They had a 40% off sale and I stocked up on my favorites! The flowers are by prima and are hydrangias. The center is a brad I had in my stash.
