SUO Challege - Thank You
After spending about five hours out in the craftroom today, I decided to call it quits. After one more card. Okay two, but anyways....
I bookmarked the Stampin' Up Only Challenge page a while back and finally got around to it today. This week's challenge is a special thank you. I love using layers, textures, ribbons, brads, and distressing. This card gave me a chance to do it all!
The image is Hello Doily. I stamped it in Primrose Petals, then stamped it off once to lighten the colour a bit. Then I used my sponge daubers and added a little Soft Suede. Next I inked up the inside of my Vintage Wallpaper EF with Soft Suede (just a little but) and ran my stamped piece through the Big Shot. Finally, I punched the layers and added the ribbon. The seam binding ribbon is perfect for this style, and I made a decadent three layer bow to go behind my vintage brad. The sentiment is from Apothecary Art. I love how elegant the font is.

Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge 243
On Monday night after work my husband and I came home and had leftover turkey dinner and sat down to watch a movie. The plan was to watch a movie and then go to bed and read for a bit, but the movie was over at 8:00, and I couldn't convince him to go to bed that early. So what did I do? Came into my craftroom and started blog surfing.
I found this sketch on Stamping 411 and the card popped into my head immediately. I love it when that happens. Instead of taking an hour from start to finish, I whipped up this card in less than 30 minutes. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a sketch and a stamp in mind.
I love the colour combo of Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. I usually want to turn cards like this into wedding cards (think "Happy I Do Day" in place of the "Stay" sentiment), but I figured I'd stick with friendship for now.
The card looked nice with the Doily stamp but I felt the need to emboss it as well. Makes it nice and rich. I love layers and textures so I'm pretty please with the whole thing.
