Ahhhh! My life has been sooooo busy! I'm barely getting time to craft each month for the blog hops, but I wouldn't miss 'em for the world! My kraft card was inspired by another card I made recently. For last month's blog hop, I used one of my favorite new images, the Ornate Flourish. It's so versatile and elegant. For my boyfriend's birthday last month, I also made a card using that stamp as a background along with the new Elegant Word Plate. He also LOVES coffee (especially Starbucks), so I had to add some coffee cups to the background. Oh, and his favorite colors are orange and purple. So, here is what I made for him.
(By the way, he loved the card! Yay!)
I loved the way that card turned out so much that I used that as a template for my Kraft card. I used the same stamps, but used the white (picket fence) Distress Stain to stamp onto the Kraft, and then I added Stardust Stickles to give it an elegant icy look. (I wish you could really see how sparkly this is, but I couldn't get a good angle with my camera.) Of course, I just HAD to add some ribbons! I used 2 different grosgrain ribbons, and then who doesn't love some rhinestone ribbon, eh?
This card really sparkles and POPS in person. I love my bling!
Next stop on the hop is the lovely
Ruza's blog. She is such a sweetheart and soooooo creative! I'm sure she's done WONDERS with kraft!
