I’ve had this stamp set from Flourishes in my stash forever and when I saw this weeks Splitcoast Sketch Challenge #241, I knew that some way, some how I could work the set into a card. And you know what, that sketch . . . me likey! The set is called Coffee with Friends and after I stamped with it I truly wondered how this one missed my scrutiny.
So, here’s the sketch for you to look at. My goodness, I’ve not done one of these in a while. Somehow when I first looked at this, I thought the two vertical panels were the same size . . .arrrggh! Oh well, next time I guess I’ll use my glasses.
I simply layered the sketch and decided to put a hole/frame in the top to give it a little bit of interest, dimension. On my way home from Orlando I stopped in one of the Joann Etc stores and stocked up on all kinds of lace (yes!!) This piece of lace was a light cream color, but after I hit it with the Antique Linen Distress Ink, it fits right in with the paper. Speaking of the paper . . . this is my new love! Graphic 45 was at CHA and I was so tickled to bring home one of their paper packets called Fashionista. I promise you, I won’t waste an iota of it; I’m dreaming of the cards I’ll make. To the sweet young lady who was so generous with the paper . . . thank you!!
Thanks for peeking in on me!
