Happy Monday! I can't believe another weekend has flown by. I decided to start my Monday morning off with a sketch challenge on SUDSOL (an online group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators). The sketch came from a card in the March 2005 Stampin' Success magazine (Stampin' Up!'s newsletter for their demonstrators).
I can't seem to get enough of the Maine Blueberry DSP. I hardly ever touched my Not Quite Navy cardstock until I bought this DSP and now I use it all the time. As a matter of fact, I'm now running low and need to order more.
I stamped the large flower in Not Quite Navy ink on Whisper White cardstock. I cut it out and added a 1/2" circle of Old Olive cardstock to the center. I poked a hole in the center with my paper piercer and added one of the new Flower Designer Brads. I attached the flower with dimensionals to the Bashful Blue layer.
I wrapped the Old Olive grosgrain ribbon around the back of the cardstock and then threaded each end through the holes in the Hodgepodge Hardware. I took some linen thread and tied it around the grosgrain to help hold it in place and then trimmed the ends. I love using ribbon to hold the Hodgepodge Hardware in place.
I hope you have a wonderful day today. Thanks for stopping by! ~Dannie
