...a quick one I whipped up last night because (not surprisingly) I got my weeks confused and sent in poor Sav an anything goes card for a picture perfect challenge. ;)
Isn't it so homey and purty?
Here's my take, using the cute Party Posse stamp set and Balloons die...
I was obviously inspired by those colors, which I thought would be perfect for a masculine card! And lets be honest - you can never have too many of those!
Oh, and something nifty I finally realized - I've always clear embossed any wood veneer I've colored with ink, because the ink usually doesn't tend to wanna stay. On these stars, I used some silver Memento ink, but instead of embossing them, I just zapped them with some heat from the embossing gun, and oila! Problem solved!
It's just a little something I picked up from Kristina Werner that I'm sure all you stamping pros out there already knew, however, we've already established that I'm pretty slow on picking up obvious stamping/inking tips. ;)
Anywho, if you wanna see the rest of the design team's fabulous samples, here they are, all nice and linked up for ya!
