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.

I LOVE the button. The contrast of blue and white are so striking in this design.
