Happy Labor Day! I created a simple layout for you today. It combines sophisticated neutrals with the coordinating patterns of Stampin' Up! Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper. Take a little time for yourself today and indulge in a pretty handmade card!
FYI: There's no Mojo Monday sketch challenge for the next two weeks while Julee T. takes a little break.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
The stunning blossoms are from Field Flowers 2-Step stamp set. I stamped the solid flower in Crumb Cake and layered the coordinating line image in Early Espresso. - Each blossom was snipped out and popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. I also stamped and snipped out an extra stem for a softer look.
- Jewels Basic Pearls were an afterthought. I love how they really make the flower centers come to life!
- A bold Antique Brad defines the bottom left corner.
Many of you have opted for "stamping" over "camping" this Labor Day weekend. Be sure to check out this weekend's Facebook conversation.
