A little old, mostly new


I received my box of new goodies today and had to make a card right away. I feel like I could have done better, but I was trying to hurry up and get it done while the girls were napping. I used Baja Breeze for my card base. I cannot tell you how excited I am that this color is returning as a core color! I ran the Early Espresso cardstock through the new Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder after I had rubbed my Whisper White Craft Ink Pad over the inside of the folder. I stamped the medallion image from the new Artistic Etchings Stamp Set on the Daffodil Delight with VersaMark and then stamped the Eiffel Tower image from the same set in Chocolate Chip Ink. The sentiment comes from a new level 3 hostess set, Occasional Quotes. I used my sponge dauber to sponge the edges of the Daffodil Delight with Whisper White Craft Ink. I then used dimensionals to "pop" up the Daffodil Delight layer. The kraft taffeta ribbon that I used is retiring, so if you want to get some you better hurry up!

Have a great day!
