Hi Everyone!!! Can you believe it????? Two days in a row??? I just had to participate in the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge this week - I LOVED the sketch! Well - I love all of the challenges, but actually had time to carve out for this one.....if there were only about three more days in a week - don't you feel that way sometimes? hehe! Wanna see the sketch??
That is a nice one, huh? And guess what? I pondered on it for a couple of days and decided on pairing up the Gently Falling set from the mini with the Spice Cake fabric - also from the mini ( ;) ) with some totally essential stamps that are from the set French Foliage - it is in the current idea book and catalog - but it was in last year's holiday mini.......do you see a great love of the leaf sets that come out in the holiday minis and me? hehehehheeee.......
Oh Yeah - I bet you are wondering what I did??? I kind of got a bit side tracked - sorry ;)
Well? you like? I used some torn strips of the fabric in place of the three horizontal strips on the sketch - LOVE that!! The leaves are more mustard, pool party and pear pizzazz topped with an outline of soft suede. I then went over the entire panel with the three ESSENTIAL stamps from french foliage - the circle paris stamp, the tiny text stamp and the ink blot looking thing - those three stamps could be piled onto anything and it would look Great!!! And the sentiment comes from Hand Penned, also from the mini - what a gorgeous stamp set!! Take a closer look at the "stress" my main image panel went through:
that was great fun to rip, tear and dirty up!!
Oh, I don't want to forget - I also did up the inside, of course.....I can't hardly complete a card without doing it, huh??
Well - what do you think?
