a card a day in may - 5/18: CONGRATULATIONS

Hello again, stampy friends! It's FRIDAY... AGAIN. Where does it go?? I know, I keep asking that. LOL Anyway, another ACADIM post. This one is super simple, taking maybe just ten minutes to do. I'm not sure I'm sold on it... what do you think?


I think since making Jen McGuire's baby card, I've got baby cards on the brain! This particular ric-rac image (another new stamp from Impress) is AWESOME... it's 7 inches long, so it completely covers a card very easily! Not to mention that it would work great on scrapbook pages, too. I thought it might look neat stamped kinda like a plaid baby blanket, so that's what I did. The ink colors are a little softer in real life, I didn't have a lot of time to edit the photo. I'm not sure this is quite what I had pictured in my mind's eye when I started this card, but it's what came out. LOL I made a stampy boo-boo over to the left side, so I needed to cover it up with some ribbon. But, I wanted to still be able to see the ric-rac, so I used sheer ribbon. The sentiment is an OLD one from Hero Arts... like, vintage old. ;) I think it's one of the first clear sets that Hero ever put out! I wish I would've stamped it better... oh well.

Whew! That's a lot of chit-chat about a card that I'm not even sure I like! LOL

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I will see you again tomorrow! Thanks for reading. :)
