Raising the Bar with a Simon Says Sweet Sketch

My bff, Christi, and I were talking th other day and decided to do a couple of challenges together. As if doing a couple of challenges together weren't enough, we decided to challenge ourselves with of few of our own challenges, haha. The official challenges we joined were the Raise the Bar 'Movie Mania', and the Sweet Sketch Wednesday. This card also qualifies over at the Simon Says challenge blog for 'Movies & dry embossing.' We both have this MFT set called Chick Flick, and we both have the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety paper. . .so, yup you guessed it. . .our challenges to ourselves were to use the same set and paper without knowing what the other would be creating. We crack each other up! As soon as I'm done posting here, I'm heading over to her blog to see her card. Wouldn't it be hilarious if we came up with the same card, haha?! (I couldn't help it with that chick paper, since I was using that sentiment and that set ;D )
Stamps: Chick Flick (MFT)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Neenah Solar White (CDS), Lime Juice & Bee Pollen (CDS), Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety
Accessories: Copics, Tags Nestabilities, circle cutters, sponges, silver brads, Sweet Pea ribbon (CDS), Spots & Dots embossing folder
