Hi all!! Thanks so much for playing along with my blog game - I will be updating the picture soon with the prize for the day! So, here it today's card - it is bigger than my normal cards at 6x6 because I am using it for a special occasion coming up. The stamps are from the
Always stamp set which is one of my favorites that I use a lot! The base of the card is
Soft Sky card stock - I will be so sad when this color retires this year!! The background is stamped with my
Jumbo Wheel called
Basics Outline - isn't it totally yummy!!! I really, really love all the flowers on it! The two smaller squares are
Sage Shadow card stock and
Afternoon Tea Designer Series Paper from the
Occasions Mini. I used my
Ticket Corner Punch on these and did some
faux stitching on both. The image is stamped in
Sage Shadow on
Naturals White card stock, then stamped again and cut out. I then popped the second image up on
dimensionals. I used my
Ticket Corner Punch on this as well, added some
faux stitching, and used four of my
vintage silver brads in the corners. I
sponged the edges of the card stock with
Sage Shadow Classic Stampin' ink as well. I used my
White Gel pen to add some highlights to the background stamps. The ribbon is
White Grosgrain to which I added two small pieces of the
Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware, also from the
Occasions Mini. The sentiment is stamped on
Naturals White card stock in
Sage Shadow ink, punched out with my
1 1/4 inch Circle punch, then adhered to
Sage Shadow card stock, which is punched out with my
1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I added a piece of
White Grosgrain Ribbon and popped it up on
dimensionals as well. The flower above is done the same way, with a
Circle Rhinestone brad added in the center of the flower. I really enjoyed making this card because it combined my favorite papers and stamps and came together just like I wanted - don't you love when that happens!! Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance at some yummy blog candy!
