Hello everyone! It's New Years Eve and I FINALLY got a few minutes to play in my stamp room! This has been quite the week for me but I'm happy to say I got to make a card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week.... and considering that I was just honored by being asked to be their Guest Diva for January...(Whoo Hoo!) I just HAD to play! Now this is the quickest card I've made in a long time! It went together so quickly! It was a fun challenge.
I am giving you another sneak peek at the January release from Our Daily Bread designs called Confirmation. I stamped the image on Papertrey Vintage Cream with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain, and sponged. I used a QuicKutz embossing folder for my background, used a Sizzix leafy vine and bird die cut, and cut the bird once in chocolate and once in cream, then offset just slightly for a shadow effect. I ran my corners through the big shot with the Cuttlebug Textile folder and added pearls. CAS and quick!!! It's all I had time for tonight but I am in need of masculine mailable cards, so this should help fill the need!
Please stop by tomorrow morning, 8am EST for the Our Daily Bread designs Blog Hop! There will be great prizes.... yes... several of them!!!! You won't want to miss all the inspiration the Design Team will have for you either!
Thanks for stopping by and I sincerely hope you have a most blessed New Year!
