I hope everyone is doing well, and having a great weekend. Around here, we've been busy with getting my daughter registered for school, and back to school shopping. It's tax free weekend in Iowa this weekend, so we did our shopping last night, after dinner. We did some major damage on my check book, but she hates shopping, so we won't have to do that again for a while. lol Today has been all about being lazy, and trying to get laundry finished. In between, I made this card.
I'm sure by now, you know how I LOVE non-traditional Christmas colors. This is definitely non-traditional, but I dig it. I got to use more of my new Simon Says Stamp goodies, and I had fun putting this together. I'm going to submit my card to the following challenges.
Just Add Ink Challenge #225: Color Combo (Smokey Slate, So Saffron, Whisper White & Basic Black)
52 Christmas Card Throwdown August Challenge: Sketch (my interpretation)
Crazy 4 Challenges #247: Banners
I'm off to make some veggie beef soup (my daughters request) and do a whole lot of nothing, except maybe make another card. I hope you have a wonderful afternoon!
Stay crafty my friends!
What's In It?
Paper: SU So Saffron, Basic Black & Whisper White cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Card Kit patterned paper (from last year)
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Holiday Envelope Sentiments
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink
