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

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:
