I'm Back!

Pin It Now!

This week has been busy! My mother-in-law flew in last Friday & was able to be here with us when my husband returned home from a 6 month deployment to Iraq! He got here late Monday night & she had to leave yesterday morning. Our kids have been on spring break this week too so we've had a house full! The card I'm sharing with everyone today is one of my new favorites to do.

The card base is So Saffron with a Basic Black layer on top of it. I stamped the image from the set "Elements of Style" randomly a few times in StazOn on Whisper White. On a separate piece of Whisper White I stamped the image again & colored part of the image using my Aqua Painter & So Saffron & Certainly Celery ink pads. I punched the colored image out with the 1 1/4 inch Circle Punch & adhered it with Snail. I adhered this top layer to the black piece with Snail. I used a piece of 5/8 inch grosgrain ribbon (Basic Black) & wrapped it around the bottom third of the card. This entire layer is put on using dimensionals. The sentiment is punched with the new Decorative Label punch.  To create the So Saffron background to the sentiment I used the same punch & cut out the center & used Snail on the edges to create a frame. This is on dimensionals on the ribbon. This was actually quicker to put together than it looks ; )  Thanks for stopping by to look & hopefully I'll get back on track with regular posts. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
