For today's Dirty Girl challenge, I created this simple pocket card design. One of the aspects of the challenge was to use stamps designed by a Dirty Girl and so I chose to use three stamps/sets designed by Lisa Strahl for Cornish Heritage Farms. These are also three of my favorite sets... Lined Paper Backgrounder, French Script Backgrounder and Classic Essential Expressions. Another element was to incorporate a Spring color combo. This Birdie Crate Paper makes me think of Spring. This design solely uses patterned paper and there is no cardstock.
Stamps: Lined Paper Backgrounder, French Script Backgrounder, Classic Essential Expressions, Time to Stamp, Silhouette Blooms 1 - Cornish Heritage Farms
Ink: Black and Burnt Umber Palette Ink - Stewart Superior, Antique Linen Distress Ink - Ranger
Paper: Birdie Collection - Crate Paper
Other: hole punch, ribbon - May Arts, button - Autumn Leaves, flower - Prima Marketing, rhinestone - Me and My Big Ideas, sewing machine
