Good Afternoon! It's been another busy week : ) My wonderful Husband surprised me (for my birthday) with tickets to Elton John and Billy Joel!! Best Birthday EVER!! My mother made her fabulous lasagna along with a wonderful salad, and then off to the concert we went! Needless to say, I was a bit too tired the next day to stamp! How fun are these colors?! I could do a series of cards with these... maybe I will?!
For the front of the card, I sponged stripes in varying widths with Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa and Baja Breeze. For directions on making stripes, see the post for Inspiration Journal #4. The flip flop stamp is from the Just Beachy (113796) set from the Ocassions Mini catalog. I stamped them in Baja Breeze, and then colored a few items in Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa,664 and Regal Rose (flowers). The Live, Laugh & Love stamp is from On Your Birthday (111664, $33.95, page 141).Now for the ribbon! JARON WINDER showed us this trick at the MPLS Regional... Just take a thread at the end of the ribbon and PULL! You get these wonderful threads to play with! I was going to tie them around something, but in the end decided to make them look more like a tassel. Just one more use for ribbon!
On the inside of the card, I sponged one stripe in Certainly Celery, and using my paper piercing tool and template, poked a row of holes. I colored the flip flops in with a Close to Cocoa marker.
