Every Breath is a Gift


Well we have made it to Wednesday! I have a kiddo home sick today with a nasty cough!
This week is a really busy week for me creatively! I am getting back on my creative roll!

I knew as soon as I saw this paper what I wanted to do! However, I had to order the stamp set first!
This week Can You Case It has a fabulous Black and White Challenge so.... Challenge accepted!

My card started with a base of Basic Black with a lovely layer of  DSP that has the dandelions all over it! It is from this years Sale-A-Bration with Stampin' Up!. So I managed to get it for free! The stamp set is from one of my favorite designers Phyllis Harris! She has a fabulous line of stamps through Unity Stamp Company. This set is called Every Breath!  I stamped this image using the Basic Black Archival Ink. I used Gina Steimels stitched rectangles to die cut the image. The Basic Black matte is just about an 1/8" wider/longer than the stitched rectangle.  I wasn't sure what to do with sentiment or where to put it! So simply stamped it on to the Whisper White and used my 1 3/8" Circle punch. I rubbed the edges with some black ink, made a few metallic thread loops and adhered this to the top left corner using Stampin' Dimensionals! I knew the card needed something, so I used some Sparkly Clear and Charcoal sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!

Thank you So much stopping by today! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

  2. So, do we need to have our own blog somewhere to enter this? Or can we upload a photo and that is just as good?
