I can't believe I went almost 2 weeks without a new post! Eek! I've been busy with stamping, just not posting it! A friend /fellow SU! demonstrator and I are preparing for an event this Saturday - attendees will be making a project for every month! Of course, I've been busy with other things, too!

Well, I am excited about this card! I sat down last evening to make a card with the Bliss set from the SAB catalog because I just got it Monday. I mainly wanted to use the "filigree" or whatever one might call that. This is what I stamped out! The picture doesn't quite capture thefeel of it with the vellum, but you get the idea. I'm proud of myself for turning out something so chic! :) Even my husband was impressed with this one. Then I woke this morning to find that the Stamping Royalty challenge is to use texture/embossing folders!

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Bliss, Close as a Memory

Ink: Elegant Eggplant, StazOn Black

Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Basic Black, Vellum

Tools: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper EF

And this is another card, I actually did it last week but never had time to post. (Trust me: I don't need a challenge to encourage me to use embossing folders! LOL I'm beginning to wonder what I ever did without them!!) I had decided I wanted to use this color combination and came up with this!

I used this colorQ color challenge as inspiration for this card, but I did not use any Gray. (I forgot that was one of the colors, actually!) Just today I received a shipment of new stuff including the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I had this card all made except for the embossing. Then I swiped both Old Olive and Crumb Cake ink pads over the embossed images. I love how it turned out!

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Just Believe, Close As a Memory

Ink: Crumb Cake, VersaMark, Basic Black, Old Olive

Paper: Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake

Tools: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper EF, Coluzzle Cutting System, Decorative Label punch, Black EP, heat tool

Embellishments: 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, Designer Buttons Neutrals Whisper White, crochet thread
