I feel like I am getting back into my stampin' groove now. I was able to finish my project for a submission and had some time left before bed to stamp a birthday card JUST FOR FUN! This card was so enjoyable to create. The colors are so regal and yet soothing to me. The patterned paper is by Daisy D's. Picked it up at Hobby Lobby many months ago and have finally started using it. I think it goes perfectly with the Paisley and Linen background stamps.
I also tried my hand at "roughing up" the edges a little so the card looks a little shabby. I don't have any tools to distress (yet!), so I had to just use my fingers to manipulate the edges. I am pretty happy with the results.
Have I mentioned that I *LOVE* this new Paisley stamp???

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

I'd say pretty close to the sketch this week, you just have ESP!
Very nice Sarah, I like your ribbon and hardware and love what you did with the paisley.
