With a teenager in the house, and no smaller ones any more, the opportunity for cute isn't there as often anymore.
This sure makes you want to find a reason, really adorable!

I am presently into creating paper lace for my embellishments. This is a tough question though, as I love ribbons and buttons and flowers and all things romantic.

Mary (Happy Now) said...

Oh, sigh. I LOVE this card!!!

jjindp said...

some kind of die cut, either from a punch or Cricut.

Janet said...

Gee, that's a hard question! I guess my go-to embellishment would have to be ribbon. I love to add a ribbon somehow into every card I make - even masculine ones. Ribbons don't always have to be in a bow. :D

Anonymous said...

I love ribbons and flowers. I also love to fussy cut and pop out a stamped or pp image.

jengd said...

Such a cute card!! My favorite embellishment... I'm not sure I have one actually unless coloring tools count. I tend to color on EVERY card I do. Embellishments change based on the card. Rhinestones, brads, eyelets, ribbon, popdots (maybe that's it!)...

Cynthia Baldwin said...

For cards, I'd say my go-to embie is ribbon. A close second would be flowers - must be why I have a hard time making masculine cards - oops! ;)

Karinn said...

Rhinestones on punched or die cut flowers. I love making pretty little embellie flowers!

Lisa said...

You card is adorable!! I love using buttons and ribbon the most but I am also drawn to adhesive pearls.

Nina said...

Very cute and fun and sunny bright card indeed!! Love your style!
My go to embellishment are buttons....can't live without buttons!

Queenie said...

I love this card! I am a fan of clouds and the image is GREAT!

My favorite embellies are rhinestones and pearls! They work for any style of card!

Linda L said...

Love your card and your fun and cute style...that card just screams happiness.

nancy said...

I guess you can tell that shabby and vintage is not your style since you want to limit us to one embellishment. Layers and embellishments are my favorite part of the card, so it is near to impossible to pick one embellie. If you forced me, I'd probably choose flowers... with a pearl or gem in the center.

Your card is fabulous.

Donna Espiritu said...

this is the fun and cute i definitely CAN make...this is so adorable! i love yellow too! (and pink heehee)

thanks so much for the inspiration!

Amy said...

Great card! My go to embellishment is ribbon!

scrapsnsuch@gmail.com said...

First off, cute card :>) Sunny and happy! As for my go to, it is buttons...I have a little bit of a button addiction. I tame it for a bit, but then it pops right back up! I really need to go check the last time I made a card without a button on it!

Sue VanDeVusse said...

Super cute and fun to boot! Love the scalloped edges and the bright fun colors.

Teri-Ann said...

My go to embellishment would be flowers. Love your bright and happy card - one that would brighten anyone's day :)

Button, button, who's got the button. I've loved buttons since I was a little girl and my mom sewed everything I wore. My favs were black buttons w/ a little dutch girl hand painted on it. I still have them and would never be able to part with them on a card, but at least it's the STYLE that counts.

Lucy Newton said...
