Make it Monday #74


This week's Make it Monday #74:  Stamping on Texture is short and sweet--just perfect for a busy summer day.  I used the large side of the Polka Dot Impression Plate and Background Basics Postmarks on my card front.  I kept the front pretty simple, to really emphasize the texture stamping.

Happy Birthday



Can you take another owl card?  Just a little mini, to slip into Sarah's lacrosse bag tomorrow when she heads off to camp.  The card base is made by scoring and folding a piece of rustic cream cardstock and running both layers through my Cuttlebug using the Layerz Mat Stack 3 Die.  The fold is just inside the cutting line, so it doesn't get cut.  I used paper from a Recycled DCWV pad and the Memory Box Clever Owl die.  No stamping on this mini card.



Supplies Used (PTI):
Happy Birthday
Stamps:  Background Basics Postmarks, Gracious Vases, Sending You
Paper:  White, Ripe Avocado, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold,  Summer Sunrise Pattern
Ink:  Ripe Avocado
Other:  Polka dot IP, Notched Flower, Double Ended Banner, Sending You Dies, Button


Thanks for Visiting

  3. Your MIM is stunning, great job on the stamping and that beautiful yellow notched flower. I love how you combined patterned paper, card stock and texture. Hmm that sentiment is from Gracious Vases? Oh boy now I want it.
