I've been so busy the last couple weeks, I've hardly stamped at all. Spring is such a busy time of year. Now that I have my garden planted and flowers in pots, I think I can relax a little. Today is a perfect day to stamp. For one, it's a three day weekend, and two....it's raining!
I love to visit the Mojo Monday blog. There are always great sketches to get the imagination going. This time I decided to participate. If you go to the Mojo Monday blog, there is also a link to help Alzheimer's disease. Click on the link Stampin' Out Alzheimer's, and you can make a donation to the cause!
The paper used in the background of my card was an idea I got from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial on wrinkle free distress. Oh, it's so much fun! I used this technique over the weekend while working on my daughter's scrapbook. I made a couple squares of paper like this and then cut out flowers and shapes with my big shot. You can see a picture of it at the end of this post.
Here is my card...
The recipe....
Stamps: Dreams du Jour
Ink: Rose Red
Markers: Rose Red, Old Olive, Apricot Appeal
Paper: Stampin' up Whisper White, Old Olive, Rose Red, Tea Party, Raspberry Tart
Stampin' Up eyelets
Ribbon from who knows where???
From the scrapbook page....I made the paper, cut it out with the big shot, then embossed it and sanded it.
Wow what an amazing card. Love the colors and this set, it has just come out in our recent catalogue in N.Z. and I have it on my wish list to get soon. Love the effect you have gotten on the paper. Super card.
