My Stampin' Up! family that is! Today I welcomed three new downline to my family; Mandy, Sheila and Laura. Welcome girls! I had so much fun today. I am exhausted though, so I am going to have to be quick with my post tonight. I still have to pack for tomorrow's workshop and practice the solo I am singing at church tomorrow morning! Plus I am on Praise Team so I have to be at church early. This night looks like it might be longer than I had originally planned. :(
I really loved the sketch at Mojo Monday this week. When haven't I though? :)
I had originally made a different card, but then realized I had used the wrong sketch! I don't know where I came up with the sketch I used because I drew it out from the site. I must not be very good at copying! I came up with one for this sketch though. :)
For the background, I inked up the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder with Basic Gray ink and then ran it through the Big Shot. I love this effect! I think it looks especially classy with the gray! The back banner and flower rosette are Riding Hood Red cardstock that I crinkled and then spritzed with my homemade silver Smooch Spritz. You sure have been seeing that a lot, huh? :) The flower is made with the largest flower on the Fun Flowers Bigz Die. I punched out three of them and glued them together after scrunching them up. The gray behind the sentiment was stamped off to get a lighter background for the sentiment. I haven't used Perfectly Penned in awhile and I thought it really added to the classy look of this card!
