Appreciation

I am just loving this card...and these stamps!  This card uses all Verve Stamps.  Isn't the color combination pretty?  I started with a piece of patterned paper that I've been hoarding because I love it so much.  But, my friend Laurie made a card that ROCKS (LOL!! Sorry, Laurie that was for you!) using patterned paper and she inspired me to pull mine out and put it to good use!  After I picked my patterned paper, I just played the matching game until I found a color combo that I loved.  I think I scored! 

The coral patterned paper is from October Afternoon's Cherry Hill collection.  I stamped a background onto the blue paper.  The sketch is from Page Maps. Isn't the ribbon pretty?  It's from Really Reasonable Ribbon and they have LOTS of ribbon to choose from at very affordable prices!

Above is a closeup of the layers.  I used a very thin pop dot to pop up the large coral circle so that it would lay better with the ribbon under it. 

Hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Treasure Your Friends

This is a card I made for two challenges:  a color combo challenge by Laurie and Heather's sketch challenge.

The color challenge was to use these colors on a card:  Turquoise, Brown, Kraft & Ivory.  This is one of my FAVORITE color combos (I'm sure you've probably noticed)!  I'm not very happy with how the colors photographed (they aren't this harsh in real life and they really do all match). 

Here is the sketch I was going off of:

And, here's my card (a little blurry too, sorry about that)

I used the flower punch to punch out two different patterns of paper and then crumpled them up.  Then, I adhered them, slightly off center with glue dots and added the button with scrapper's floss on top. 

I tried a new adhesive this time and it stick well and fast...too fast.  Thus, my top layers are crooked.

Hope you're staying warm!  We're heading for a hard freeze and am so tired of it being cold all the time! :)
