F4A379 - "Look Ma!! NO Stamps!!"
 

F4A379 - "Look Ma!! NO Stamps!!"

My daughter's wedding was two weeks ago. To be honest, I have had SO much cleaning up to do since then ... and I have done NONE of it!! The wedding pretty much WIPED ME OUT!

With that said, I went to go make a card for today's challenge and was met with a pile of stuff and a BIG FAT MESS!! So, instead of cleaning up the mess, I just decided to use some of the things that were ALREADY out!! Hence, the card for today's challenge (which was made with things I used to make favors for the wedding reception ... I did change up the colors, though!)

So ... the challenge today is to create something and use NO stamps (if you can!!)!! I have so much ribbon, so many die cuts, TONS of embellishments, embossing folders and the like .. I am SURE most of you do as well!!! Show me what you can do!!

My Sample:

Look Ma! No Stamps

F4A379 Kindness by JBgreendawn - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Oh my goodness, you were reading my mind Wendy! I, too, have had way too much on my plate and zero time in my craft room. I was stumbling along making a thank you card for a DF when I spotted this challenge....I was able to finish the card, thanks to your suggestion, by ditching the sentiment stamp and instead using a diecut, custom watercolored sentiment to finish the card! So happy I did! Here it is:
