STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
Yes, this card started out vertically. When it just wasn't saying "mama" to me, I flipped it 90 degrees. Ahhhh. Much better. - The Corner Rounder Punch adds a subtle but pretty finish.
-
Gold heat embossing and Stampin' Up! Brushed Gold Card Stock provide a dash of splash to this neutral palette. The butterfly (produced by the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, a Stampin' Up! exclusive) is gorgeous in gold. - A Japanese-inspired rug from West Elm spurred my color palette and design.

However, here is where the real cost to the borrower starts to be exposed. know more successful non-web startup entrepreneurs, than those in the web space; even though, I know more entrepreneurs total in the web space. The sexiness of the web startups world is based on the misconception that it is easy. Entrepreneur’s see crazy evaluations on Facebook, Twitter, etc? and think it is easy riches. Notable most of these entrepreneurs fail. Evolution works in capitalism pretty well and capital investment in the form of VC/ seed money lubes this process pretty well.
LOVE this card. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Your designs and color combination’s are always an inspiration. Thanks for sharing:)
I love how the ribbon looks! I’ve tried tying satin ribbon and it never comes out that way! I guess I’ll have to keep practicing! Great card! 🙂
Love your designs, and you have such a nice way with color.
I really love “Favorite Thoughts” stamp set! Nice to have some thoughtful quotes for cards.
Take Care,
I love how you showed the inspiration for today’s card and the whole array of Summer Mini projects. Yeah!
I love the Summer Mini retrospective, Mary! Soooo cute!
Very elegant – love seeing the summer recap as well! Over 600 comments yesterday??? Wowza!
Very classy, Mary! I love your inspiration piece!
OH Mary!! This card is uber-elegant and your interpretation of the WE rug is spot on. Do you know I have a tear sheet of a rug from WE sitting on my craft table right now? It’s true! LOVE this! 🙂
WOW! What a super elegant card! The color combo is so luxurious!
