Greetings friends and loved ones. It's been a while since I have blogged. My son graduated from High School and we whisked the family away to a cruise to the Western Caribbean!!! What a blast we had. Now I am back and want to share my news. I will be working with the fabulous Speedy the Cat's Blog Team. Today is my first challenge as a Design Team Member.
The challenge this week is from Patty Penn to use a 3 dimensional flower on your card. It can be prima, punched, silk, whatever you choose. Some come and join us at Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge for a chance to win one of Faith's super awesome stamp sets! Just click on the link and it will take you to the challenge.
Let me just tell you that I am in love with these stamps. These stamps sets are so well coordinated with sentiments and images and are very fun to work with. This stamp is called "Here Comes the Graduate" from Mark's Finest Papers. Isn't this owl cute!!! The stamp set had the Congrats, Grad sentiment and the quote as well. Most times my cards are plain with no greetings - so I am loving the sentiments.
Card Recipe:Punches: Martha Stewart Ribbon Loop Punch Around the Page, Branch and Frond Punch.
Cuttlebug: Embossing Folder Script Texture, Vintage Dies
Spellbinders: Labels 10
Misc: Blue rhinestones, ribbon, copic markers, black soot distress ink, denim distress ink.
Flowers: These were hand made by me with a marvy flower punch
Stamp: Here Comes the Grad from Mark's Fines Papers
