Hi everyone – how has your weekend been? We have had a lovely couple of days here in Sydney with about 19 degrees and glorious sun shine.
We have a new challenge this week at Come and Get It is Adult Birthday.
So I have created a sort of Vintage look card using the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
The cardstock is Marina Mist, Whisper White with a touch of Crumb Cake.
I embossed a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then swiped the Marina Mist ink pad across the embossed cardstock. I added a little bit more ink with a dauber in both Marina Mist and Crumb Cake.
I added a couple of Crumb Cake Swirls by using the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlits Die and a handmade stubby tag in Whisper White, stamped a sentiment in Crumb Cake and added a bit more ink around the edges with a dauber.
The ribbon is the 1-1/4” Marina Mist Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and I added a pin from the Vintage Trinkets embellishments.
Here is my card:
Below is close up of the ribbon and the sentiment which is from the On Your Birthday stamp set.
Supplies:
Stamp set: On Your Birthday
Card: Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink: Crumb Cake, Marina Mist
Accessories: 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) Marina Mist Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Vintage Trinkets, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Swirls Scribbles Die, Crumb Cake 3/8” (1 cm) Taffeta Ribbon, dauber, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Dear Meighan,
this is a wonderful card you made. Thanks for playing along at Challenge up your life.
(We could use a little winter sunshine from down under right now, here in Austria it is burning hot :-)
