I have been feeling that my mojo has gone lately....partly due to the fact I am exhausted and it is nearly the end of term.
My first card attempt felt good in theory, but ended up in the bin! My second attempt is the card that I am sharing with you. I really do like this colour combination and feel that this card is what I was aiming for. I wanted to depart from my usual pastel coloured creations and have a more vintage feel this time. Here is a close up...
Supplies:
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps Vintage labels 10 and Fancy Phrases
Ink: Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler, Versafine onyx black
Paper: Kaisercraft December 25th Faith, DCWV brights, Stampin' Up Real Red
Other: Spellbinders Nestabilities labels ten, Stampin' Up! real red ribbon, Bow Easy, die cut butterfly, Rosie's diamonte brad, Francheville Passionate rhinestone stickers.
Thanks for stopping by!
