Rusty Sage Rose




Good morning all!

My card this morning is my contribution for the CCEE challenge #1021, 'A Sketch challenge with a Twist'. We were to following the sketch below and include a button somewhere in our design.

Here is the sketch :




To begin with I was wondering how to include a button on an elegant card, but including tiny buttons in a complementary color works quite well, I think. I haven't worked with Sage Shadow in a long time (in fact I think it is one of the colors that has been retired) but I found that it was the perfect complement to the 7 Gypies Venice DP that I got from Archiver's last week. The Rose stamp is also a fairly old set from Stampin'Up! and I have not used it very much because I could never line up the layers. Then, I remembered that I bought a Stamp-a-ma-jig a long time ago and never opened it. And wow, if I'd used this as soon as I bought it, my 2-step stamping sets may have seen a lot more use!!!!

Have a great start to your week!

Elzybells Baby Moon



Oh my - two posts in one day... I must be obsessed with stamping (go figure....)

I just saw a challenge over on the CCEE Stampers Blog to create a baby card. I knew I had created one but had not uploaded it on my blog - so here it is!

We have had plenty of babies born at our church recently and I made two of these cards for baby boys born within the last month. I started out with this adorable stamp from Elzybells and paired it with paper from My Little Yellow Bicycle and Night of Navy cardstock.

I think that's it for today, but I can't promise!



Stamps : Elzybells Baby Moon, SU! (sentiment)
Paper : Night of Navy, Whisper White, My Little Yellow Bicycle Sharon Ann DP
Ink : Staz-on Black. SU! Basic Black
Accessories : SU! Sizzix Scallop Circle die, Marvy Circle Punch, SU! Scallop border punch, White ribbon from Michaels, PrismaColor Pencils
