My anniversary was Saturday and I had ever intention of giving this card to Troy! We celebrated 11 years of marriage and frankly this card was perfect for the man that is ALWAYS in jeans, boots, a long sleeve shirt and a cowboy hat! Well, that idea went to crap when I had a craftastrophy that included my WHOLE counter/work space move!!! Ink pads everywhere, Gatorade on a stack of paper and finished cards.... INCLUDING this one! So... Mr Tucker didn't get his card! I will make sure I post the pictures of my mess and my somewhat clean craft room after I get you the details of the card!

The card started with a base of Sahara Sand. The Chicken Wire embossed panel is in the new Dapper Denim! It seemed to fit the theme as well as being a fabulous masculine color! I have a whole stash of October Afternoon Sasparilla papers. That is where I found this great stripe! I cut this with the Gina Marie Stitched Rectangles! The cute little pocket is made using the Richard Garay Lumberjack Days Pocket Stitch Dies with Dapper Denim card stock.... Who can resist this great little denim pocket? I used a white gel pen to add to the stitching! I tucked in some cute little ruffled burlap into the pocket like a handkerchief. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Company it is called Tiny Grained Banners! It fit so neatly on my Gina Marie Stitched Circle! I finished this card off with some great little gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!

Okay... Here is my mess



But look what it made me do!!!



It is almost done!!!

Thank you all for stopping in!!! I can't wait to see your challenge cards!!

Stamp Ink Paper 41 A Wedding Themed Challenge

Happy Tuesday! School is back in full swing today and this Stella is getting her groove back in the craft room!

This week we had an amazing Wedding theme challenge and I can't wait to show you my card!!!

This fabulous card starts with a striking base of Basic Black. I then used my Gina Marie stitched rectangles to cut this layer out. I just received her new stitched scallop frames and could not wait to use them for this fabulous shaker! The background of my shaker card is Whisper White card stamped using Pool Party ink with the I love lace background stamp... The sentiment was created using our greetings Thinlits and Perite Pairs!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Have a fabulous day!
