This has been a whirlwind week, but I got a few minutes to come down and stamp a card I had in mind for this weeks blogger's challenge theme which was birthday.
At CHA I had so much fun seeing stamp sets that I peruse online. Seeing them in person makes it so much different. Working at the Clear & Simple Stamps booth was NOT good for me as I saw quite a few sets I had to have!!! I fell in love as soon as I saw this stamp set, and even though it is not on the website yet, it will be very soon. The possibilities are endless!!!
I wanted to accent my card with this cool flower we made at the Couture Cardstock booth. It's made out of heart punches, a brad in the middle & then you unfold them so that it looks like a flower. I thought it would be perfect with this stamp set. I picked some colors that are NOT normal for me to use, but I had gotten some Purpilicious ribbon at the CSS booth as well and thought it would look great with the yellow...and I love how it turned out.
Hope you enjoy this card, and make sure to check out all the other wonderful creations here. And keep your eyes open on Monday for the new stamp of the month from Clear & Simple Stamps.
