I'm a paper collector and I admit it. Bit of a shame really when I think of all my lovely unused things. So this week I made the effort to use some new cardstock I have and never used! So it was Soft Suede that I picked this time around. I have always been a BIG fan of Chocolate Chip but I truly think I can be brought to the "other" side with Soft Suede. Actually, I have been using the ink for a little while now but hadn't used the cardstock!!
Now that I'm rambling but hopefully have your attention! I saw some gorgeous cards designed by Andrea Walford using stamps that I didn't have! So I decided to use these cards as my inspiration and created my own.
Here's my first attempt:
Not bad I thought, but definitely needed something!! As it is a Birthday Card, I decided to add this:
Now that's much better don't you think. It's quite amazing how much you can step up a card just with a little something extra, and in this case ... just an elegant greeting/sentiment. Now I'm happy!
Here's what I used:
Stamps: Great Friend, Asian Artistry (now retired) and Sincere Salutations
Inks: Soft Suede & Baja Breeze, Whisper White Craft Ink
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze & Very Vanilla
Other: Large Oval Punch, Jewels - Basic Pearls, Sponge Daubers, Scallop Border Punch & Crochet Thread
Big Shot: Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder
