hi



Hi everyone! I'm having a great lazy Saturday! I did get a chance to make this card for K. Werner's Color Challenge before the deadline this evening. It is a VERY simple card because these colors are difficult to work with for me because I have limited supplies. I do not have any ink colors except white. They're very pretty, but a challenge to work with. I needed to use more black with it, but I refrained from using it to stay within the challenge requirements.

Today, I'm watching CNN as President-Elect Obama is making his way to DC. It is great to see City Hall in Baltimore full of people knowing I used to live only a few blocks from there while in graduate school. Later, I am going to probably nap, eat, and watch a few movies before finishing up some projects I'm working on. I hope you all enjoy your Saturday and hopefully, I'll be back with a post tomorrow! So, if you're cold like me, stop by Kristina's site to see all of the challenge posts. There are over 200 entries...WHOA! I'm going to start clicking!

Instructions:
  1. Make card base by trimming ruby red cardstock to 4.25" x 11", then score at 5.5".
  2. Stamp scallop square on ruby red cardstock using watermark ink, then heat emboss with white embossing powder.
  3. Cut stamp into a square and mat on a pink cardstock square.
  4. Add rhinestones to the scallop square flowers.
  5. Trim orange polka dot and white ribbons, then adhere to card base.
  6. Adhere square to card base.

I just love your style....its so classy. I have to remind myself to keep it simple. But when I do it, it looks...simple. When you do simple, its classy. Sigh.

I love this A LOT! I have that stamp set in Spanish.

We were watching CNN today too. We're pretty excited about the inauguration. My husband said we should visit D.C. one of these days. I would love to.
