Anything Goes - The House that Stamps Built

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Anything Goes as it is the last Wednesday of the month. 

I was doing some "purging" of ribbon and STUFF and came across this wide ribbon and thought perfect for the card I had in mind.  

I used 10301-H Patti's flower solid  and stamped them to match the colors used in the ribbon. I thought they were pretty good matches.  I fussy cut the flowers out- (I find fussy cutting relaxing).  I laid out my design glued the flowers in place and colored the center of the flowers in black glitter gel pen.  I left enough room at the bottom for my sentiment 1113-D Happy Birthday .  I thought it  still needed a little something else so I used 3416-C Random Swirls in the colors I used on my flowers.  I used tear tape on my ribbon so it would stay flat on the card.  I also have some cupcake wide ribbon which I think I will use on another card.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of ATG So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps. using the challenge of ATG

Big Brother

I usually try and send a "special" card to big brother or big sister especially when this is a first addition for them. I made the brother card to coordinate with the gift card I made for the new baby which will also be a boy. I have a sticker boook and stickers to include in big brothers envelope to make him feel special too. I took a copic marker class this past weekend so I am having so much fun playing with colors and trying to blend my colors. I think this goes back to my childhood as I loved to color as a kid, especially with a new box of crayolas. The class was very helpful and of course I had to "pick up" a few more colors after the class.
