Thank You SSC 216


Hi Everyone:  Another post this week.  I am outdoing myself.  Actually I have been playing in my stamping spot this week and yesterday had to take a break and clean up..YUK.

First, though before I get to posting my card for this week's Stamping 411 challenge, I would like to share  that I was a Pals Paper Arts challenge winner.  I am so pleased as this type of recognition really inspires me to create. 

Now, on to my card for the Stamping 411 challenge.  This is also a Thank You card for one of my lake girlfriends.

Stamps: Nature’s Pace (c – 122662 $21.95, w – 122660 $30.95 IB&C p129)
Paper: Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Mocha Morning DSP
Ink: Basic Black, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Big Shot, Designer Frames, Vintage Trinkets, Pearls, Distressing Essentials, Markers
Technique: Distressing, Embossing

I also used the one of the new Designer Frames which adds that special something to an image or sentiments.  You can either choose the side that is embossed or debossed depending upon the look you are trying to achieve.

So that's it for today, now I better get up from this computer and go do something else.  Oh, the life of retirement.  Until next time....
