Well, it took new goodies (my Everyday Button Bits set from PTI), a color challenge, and a sketch challenge to get my mojo going, but I think I like the end result...and it didn't take hours to complete!I wanted to play along with Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 12, but I don't own any Scarlet Jewel. I did, however, find this dark red ribbon in my stash, so I went with it. My layout is this week's Card Patterns sketch.
I went to a shoebox swap yesterday. It was SO nice to stamp and laugh with other crafters. Tomorrow I'll share the two cards I made for the swap.
Stamps: Everyday Button Bits (PTI), Mega Mixed Messages (PTI)
Paper: Certainly Celery, Vintage Cream, Raspberry Fizz
Ink: Certainly Celery, Raspberry Fizz
Accessories: buttons (PTI), circle punches, ribbon (Offray), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
