Since I FINALLY stamped a card!!! Yes, I truly sat down and made a card last night. Granted it is a clean and simple layout, but it has an understated elegance (in *my* opinion).
Yes, all of it is from Stampin' Up and there are 2 new products on this card. The Antique Brad (#117273) and the sentiment is from Grunge Rock with basic grey stamped off(wood #117080 ; unmounted #120555). I used 3 different punches on this card, as well ~ Two Step Bird (#117191) for the leaves, Fancy Flower Extra Large (#118073), and the 3/16 Corner Small (#119871). I did do some paper piercing, as well, to ground my sentiment. The flower was stamped with the A to Z stamp (#115711) in Marina Mist on Bashful Blue and distressed until the petals started peeling apart. I did leave the flower together, though. I matted the top two layer and then attached them to the base with dimensionals.
Here is a photo of me, showing you part of what I am doing this week.
That is me on stage leading all the kids in their action songs. I am excited to point out that you can see a gap between my legs. OH MY GOSH - no rash in the thigh area this year, no pants starting on fire with all the friction on the material when I try to exercise. OK, that may be a slight exaggeration (but maybe not) ... hmmm. I do not remember the last time that I had that pleasure, maybe school ?!? I will say, though, when I am swinging my arms up there, they keep waving when I am standing still. Either I need to work on that, or wear longer sleeves .. hehehe. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
P.S. - Did you VOTE FOR LIA today ? Or friend me on facebook?
very pretty card, neat stamping and love the brad.
Looks like you have a great turnout!
