The Limited Supply Challenge was to follow the Old/New/Borrowed/Blue bridal theme. HereÂ’s how this card is marching up the aisle:
The Old: Me! This stamper is old! Also, a vintage button and Carte Postale—my favorite recently retired stamp set.
The New: The Pacific Point CS and ink and the QuickStik by QuikKutz; I absolutely love how easily it picks up tiny papers and embellishments with the ‘silly putty’ end. It was a breeze to place those tiny crystals on the button with the Stik.
The Borrowed: I love this layout and design by genie1314; it can be seen here: Carte Postale Merci by genie1314 at Splitcoaststampers I wish I could say this was also for a featured stamper challenge because I love her work.
I flipped the layout of the flourishes, changed the colors to blues and used a button instead of ribbon. IÂ’ll add a sentiment later when I know who will receive the card.
The Blue: the cardstock and ink
This card also worked for the Technique Challenge of faux dry embossing this week. The card Measures 4.5 inches square.

You're only as old as you feel...and sometimes that's 100 years old for me!!! I love your card...the faux embossing is awesome. Beautiful job! Thanks for the laugh, too!!
