Well, howdy folks!
It is raining and pretty chilly in Missouri. Guess I can't complain, since I complained about the dry hot days this summer! Hope it's nice where you are.
I have a meeting to get to, and dinner to cook, so this will be a short post. I have a couple of very quick and fun cards to show. A few days ago, I wrote that I was going to Shirley's to stamp (and drink oh, so yummy coffee). We got out her Amuse stamps, (she's a demo for Amuse) and pretty much exactly cased this card right out of the catalog. We each made some changes, but the card in the catty was our model.
I'm sorry, I can't recall which color ink we used, but it was brown. All of the stamps, inks, and cardstock are Amuse products. We each scored the lower section of our cards (but in different directions!). There's not much to color on the Amuse images, so I'm thinking they would work well for a mass produced card.
Here is how mine turned out:
Next up is a fun card using the Doodle Pantry Cowboy Birdie. This is a pre-colored image, and the DP is also pre-colored and from Doodle Pantry. I think I got the twine at For Keeps Sake in St. Louis last winter - not sure. If you need cards that are both fun and a fast creation, you should check out the Doodle Pantry Store!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs and blessings...
