The other card for our weekly CCEE challenge. The challenge was to "Make a card using black and brown. You may use other colors in your image, but I want the card to read mostly black and brown."
This is a new stamp being released by My Favorite Things on Wednesday. The stamp is called
"Peppermint"!
I used another MFT set called Behind the Scenes for the thank you sentiment and background!
Materials used: Stamps: Pepermint (Annie La Point for My Favorite Things Presents), Behind the Scenes (My Favorite Things); cardstock-white, caramel, brown, black (Stampin' Up!); ribbon (May Arts); brads (Bazzill collection); white gel pen (SU!); purple stickles (Ranger); Spellbinders nestability dies and Cuttlebug (Provocraft); Oval punch (SU!); dimensionals (SU!); brillance black ink; brown and caramel inks (Stampin' Up!).
My Favorite Things will be hosting a New Release Cocktail Party on Wednesday night (July 2nd) 9-11pm EST EASTERN time. July marks MFT's 2nd birthday AND Kim's 40th birthday, so there are LOTS of discounts and deals this month in addition to all the MFTeasers and your chance to become MFTÂ’s next Guest Designer! Check out the MFT forum for all the details!

This is beautiful Cam! I love the *thank you* sentiment in the background, and the double *strip* treatment...that sounds funny, but you know what I mean. Gorgeous coloring too.
A little overkill though making two cards for the challenge...show off!! HMPH....................*grin*
