Good Evening! It's a relaxing Friday evening here tonight and I'm stamping :) I usually don't use pastel colors very often, but this one is kind of a mix of medium colors not really pastels. Anyway, it's lighter than I usually use. I've had this paper forever!! It's from K&Co and the paper itself is embossed.
This card was made for the Limited Supplies challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use only a stamp with words on it, no images. Well, I went right for this quote from Jami's "Value of Joy" set. I love it and it fits so well with this paper.
I started with the K&Co paper and added corners that I cut with the cuttlebug corner die. I stamped the quote with Versafine-sepia and cut it out with the long skinny scalloped nesties. I inked the edges of both papers with Colorbox Chalk ink in Warm Violet. I tied the ivory grosgrain ribbon in a knot pop-dotted the quote over the ribbon and added all the pearls. I also painted the butterfly with Angel Wings Shimmerz, but you can't see how shimmery it is in the picture. Have I told you how much I love challenges lately?
Speaking of challenges, on the right side of my blog I have added a section for challenges. Check both of those links out, they're really cool!
