Etsy Summer Inspired Card

Whew! Did you feel May breeze by? I'm hoping the days slow down a bit and warm up!

Yay for sunshine and summer break!

And for Etsy...I found a darling pendant that inspired today's card. Love the two-toned background, the pop of color and the gleam of metal.

This came together so easily using Great Impressions Stamps! 

The black satin crinkled ribbon was hard to photograph. IRL the texture is just right!

Love making my own backgrounds! You can do the same using these stamps:

Rose Trio (stamped in Vintage Photo Distress Ink)

Butterfly Flourish (stamped in Peacock Distress Ink)

Butterfly Frame (stamped and cut out the butterfly)

A Flower (the sentiment)

Today's the last day to link up your project for this month's challenge - Anything Goes! Scroll to the bottom of the post to link up! Good luck!

Banner of Roses

I like using challenges to jumpstart a project and this week the design team was challenged with the theme "banners." And you know how much I love the Stamp of the Month (SOTM) stamps, so now that the SOTM stamps are available to you online, I can show you a little something I made using three of April's SOTM stamps! (wow. I used "SOTM" three times in that sentence...told you I love them! lol )

 Only used 3 stamps on this card!

It's a new month...that means new stamps and another chance coming up to enter Great Impressions Stamps monthly challenge (check back for the challenge theme on Sunday!) Stop by tomorrow to see what Theresa has created!

Oh...and by the way...April's Challenge had an amazing number of entries and I loved stopping by your blogs to see what you created...you are one big group of crazy creative people!

Inky hugs,
