Can you say STUNNING!!
I am loving the options you have with these stamps, you get such beautiful results. One color is a repeat from last time, but it just turned out so nice! These are the colors for this weeks JCC22 :
- mellow moss
- baja breeze
- always artichoke
My base is a 5 X 5 white card, and I stamped the Bella Toile on it with the baja ink. I stamped it off first, though, before putting it on the card, then sponged the edges, as well.
The scallop square was made with my new scallop punch from SU, and I started with a moss 4.5 X 4.5 square. I really like how the corners ended up, just a little fancier.
I stamped the flowers from Inspired by Nature with baja, stamped off first. I then added the grass images over it in moss, full strength and then again. I added the sentiment from Nature Silhouettes in artichoke, and then sponged the edges with the same ink. This was then matted to the scallop square and I punched it with my rectangle punch. This was attached with dimensionals after I threaded the moss taffeta through it, and then tied it around the card.
I hope you can play. Just make a card with these colors (or a close substitute), and then add it to your SCS gallery (using the keyword JCC22), or blog. Link it back here, and then Saturday, I will draw for the winner of this card from all the entries. Have fun and happy stamping!!
What a pretty card.........I love the soft *misty* look you created! Love your new haircut and color too!

Julie- I love the card and the color combo! But even more important- I love your hair; is it naturally curly or did you get a perm?
I already voted for you; yours was simply the BEST:-)

Julie, this is beautiful! By the way, I haven't told you how great I think your new picture is on your website. Short blonde hair very much becomes you...
Thanks for all you do! I very much enjoy your work.
