Gingersnap Creations GC116 is Primary Colors, which originally this was to be used for "Gal Pals," but changed my mind!
Lisa's Bloggers Challenge is looking for "Buttons" and I really thought the button add on worked quite well for an embellishment.
I was so darn excited when my new
Artistic Outpost stamps arrived in the mail and finally got to play! Last month I won the August referral program, so I ended up with six incredible sets! The stamps I used are from
Typography,
Whimsical Melange,
Ephemeral Backgrounds and
Birds of a Feather. I found that the little girls just fit in this adorable little framed image, which both were stamped with Stazon Timber Brown. I then used markers to color the girls, masked and then added distressed inks. The sentiment and frame are both mounted on dimensionals. The background was colored with Distressed Inks, Glimmer Mist and then stamped.
My sweet blogger friend, Cindy Adkins of
Whimsical Musings, sent me this adorable and lovely card! Can you believe she did this just to say hi?? She even added a little "T." By the way, Cindy, has started a new blog
Girls' Club for those who love Shabby Chic and a lovely GIVEAWAY at
Whimsical Musings. Thank you so much, Cindy for thinking of me and I love this card!
Well I have been busy! We got the rest of our replacement windows installed and love them, but they seem so difficult to keep clean! I don't know if it is the Low E glass or what! Still need to figure out doors! The magnet truck was appreciated and is on a soda machine in "Dent Repair" shop! Hope you all are having a wonderful week! I so appreciate your visits, because I know we all are needing that extra time in a day!

I like how you used the Primary colours in more subtle hues which adds a sense of the pretty to this card. That stamp is so perfect for the challenge theme.
Cindy is a star. How she finds the time to do all that she does to support her fellow crafters and create gifts that are for no reason other than to say Hi and makes us all feel very special.
Thanks for sharing.
Wishes
