MY NEW FAVORITE!!!

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!
