fresh & fun

…. and you get this layout. I had to try out my new hostess set Oh So Lovely and use the Fall Flower Designer paper. Especially since I posted last time I used that paper, when instead it was Linen Prints (which I LOVE!).

The card base is NOT chocolate chip, but Really Rust Cardstock. I added to pieces of the Fall Flower designer paper and stamped my All in a Row Argyle stamp all around the edges.

I stamped one of the flowers of the Oh So Lovely Set in Brown Stazon on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the background stamp of that set in Soft Sky all over and sponged the edges. Then I colored the flower in with Soft Sky and Old Olive ink and aqua painter. I cut out the oval and the matching Really Rust Oval with my Coluzzle and layered it on a Chocolate Chip (the card needed a little bit of chocolate!!!) giga scallop oval punchout.

Last I tied  my new wider chocolate grosgrain ribbon around the card and added the two sayings from Absolutely Fabulous. I love that new sayings set. I know I will use it a lot.

Thanks so much for all the stampers that already made samples with this sketch. They all look amazing! If you have a minute, check out all the entries HERE in the comment section!

Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

Kathy Kinney bought some of my retired sets and sent me this gorgeous Thank you card with her payment. I love Cool Carribean, Black and white together.  She used Polka Dots & Paisley to make me this wonderful card. Thank YOU, Kathy!
