A Cardinal Thanks

Hi all! Super Bowl Sunday I attended an annual even at Your Maine Stamper in Winthrop, Maine. We had a BLAST!!!!! There were lots of prizes, fun, food and of course goodies GALORE! for our shopping pleasure. Now, Sunday was a beautiful day, BUT! since it is a little chilly (lol) here in Maine.....retail therapy was definitely in order throughout the festivities. I have never used or owned a Memory Box stamp in my life much less their gorgeous paper but I'll tell you what.....as I was browsing around, these stamps, paper and all kinds of ribbon goodies and, and other stuff just kept falling into my basket. Now, any stamper out there knows exactly what I'm talking about here ROFLMBO!!!!! Anywho, I wanted to make a thank you card for the ladies who made all the festivities happen and for making me feel so welcome. I wanted something simple and with a lot of white space. It was a short, quick card that I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks for looking and have a great night! :)

PTI Contest Day 6

The challenge for today was to use buttons in a unique and creative way. What more creative than doing a spring scene! I sponged the sky while adding my clouds. Next, I sponged the hills to make sure spaces between the buttons carried the same color. I laid the buttons out in a random way before attaching them in place. I wanted the tree to have a sense of having bloomed flowers hence the pink buttons...lol. Thanks for looking and have a great night! :)

Supplies Used:
Ink: Momento summer sky, new sprout and tuxedo black
Stamps: Repeat Impressions Gulls in Flight (3412-C)
CS: PTI stamper's select white
Access: Great Impressions cloud stencil kit, sponges, PTI simply chartreuse buttons (grass, tree leaves), PTI dark chocolate buttons (tree trunk), PTI hibiscus burst buttons (flowers in the tree), PTI new leaf buttons (tree leaves) and PTI true black button (tire swing)
