Thanks!

Hi there, my friends!

Hope that your day is going well.  In Missouri, the sun is shining (temporarily, I'm told), there is no wind, no icy, snowy precip, and temps are mid-forties.  Ahhh.....life is good!

I have a card to share today, that I actually made to enter a couple of challenges.  I know, don't faint!  I've not been doing so well at that lately!

I'm entering the Impression-Obsession challenge, "Oldies but Goodies".

I chose to use this fun and fabulous Sketches by Carly sketch #48.and will enter the challenge there, as well.



Here is my card:


The funny thing about this card, is that a couple of challenges ago, at Impression-Obsession's blog, the challenge was "Pink".  So, believe it or not, this image was stamped, and colored in RV 06 Copic marker. As you know, that is a nearly glow in the dark pink color!  This challenge is "Oldies but Goodies".  We are supposed to use an older I-O stamp.  I wasn't sure which of my stamps were 'older', so decided that I'd just try to make it LOOK like an older stamp...ha ha ha.  So, here you have it - my Oldie but Goody!  When all else fails, pretend that you know what you are doing and folks will believe you do!!!


Supply list:

Stamps: Impression Obsession, Thanks Collage
Card Base: BoBunny Dotted CS
DP: My Mind's Eye, 'Love Me' collection, Kraft Cardstock (mats)
Ribbon: Stampin'Up Seam Binding (thanks Amanda!!!)
Brown CS: Amuse
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Antique Linen and Tea Dye

I am on day three today, of cleaning and purging in my girl cave.  How in the world do we accumulate and KEEP so much 'stuff' that we no longer use, never use, probably never WILL use???  Heaven help me, I'm becoming a reclusive hoarder!   Tee hee....

Have a great day - thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a cutie from Doodle Pantry, and on Thursday, I'll have my final project using Melanie Muenchingers fabulous Stately Flowers 2 set.  Hope to see you again soon!

Hugs,
Patti J.

    That is soo PRETTY! Love things stamped on brown/kraft c.s. Great job on Carly's sketch... I'm very tickled that you played along this week!! *Ü*

    De-cluttering? You go girl! I gotta say... that's so hard for me to do as I always think I'll use it sometime down the road. Guess I'm a bit of a hoarder too?! Yikes, lol.

    I love your card, Patti! How very very lovely and elegant. The aging around the edges of the image and flower are wonderful! Thanks for playing, Patti, and good luck in the drawing too!

    Very pretty - love the rose and it does look vintage - pretty coloring with your copics, and love the ribbon.When you finish with your room - hmm...I know a friend that has a HUGE room that needs to be decluttered - like before we sell this house.

    You look like you know what you are doing to me....this is such a great LO and love the "old" stamp. You know that I love vintage and aged looks. Beautiful job. We have had a glorious day here in VA as well, feels like a spring day. I have been straightening my room but don't have the nerve nor initiative to do a complete overhaul. Good luck!

    U go girl, de-clutter away! I think most of my IO stamps are older ones, so I would not have a problem. This was quite the slick maneuver, but shhhh, I won't tell. Gorgeous rose.

    So pretty as always! I love how you made the rose look old! Great job. And I can't believe you have any of that seam binding left! Stop hoarding it girl! =) Have fun cleaning out your cave! I have some of that to do but it keeps getting put off to so stamping! Have a great day! TFS!
