Embellish Color Challenge With Ribbon

Hey everyone and happy Friday! So, the latest Embellish Magazine Challenge is a fun one!I mean who doesn't love ribbon (especially if it's May Arts!) or this color combo, right?! Here is my take...

I used the ice cream cone image (from Hey Cupcake) to hand stamp, in pink, my own matching patterned paper. Instead of the usual bow or knot, I chose to make little sentiment tags to incorporate this super fun May Arts ribbon. Just simply cut a strip of cardstock, stamp the sentiment, punch a small hole, string the ribbon through, tie a knot and attach it to the card.

The cones came with an ice cream topping, but I thought it would be a fun touch to use buttons instead. What do you think?

This time the winner of the challenge will be given a stash of gorgeous and fun May Arts ribbon! So head on over to Embellish Magazine and submit your challenge creations by Thursday, February 11, 2010! I look forward to seeing what you create!

New Goodies from the Super Show

Hello my dear friends. The CHA Super Show was a blast! I met so many wonderful people and bought a few new goodies. I hope to have some pictures of everyone I met posted soon, but for now here is a card created with some new supplies... I stamped the circle image, from Outside The Box, in SEI Ocean Deep ink. Tina (Travelingmama) was the one who told me about these SEI Chalk Ink Blocks at the Super Show, they are great! So I picked up a few of those at $1.50 each.

The circles were stamped onto 1 inch squares, arranged and attached with dimensional adhesive. The sentiment is from the same set, just left off a square and stamped it directly to the card base. Since this is such a simple card, stamping the sentiment this way helps draw your eye across the card and really catches your attention.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Thanks for visiting me today, have a great week!
