Hey

Hi all! Here's a simple card inspired by a card in the latest Stampin Up catalog on page 16. I also created it for a CARDS magazine challenge to use 1-word sentiments. I continued my use of baker's twine; I love the stuff. Instead of faux stitching, I created a dot border to mimic the font of the sentiment.

Have a good one!

Card Ingredients

Stamps: For the Love of Dots (Practicing Creativity)

Paper: Basic Black (SU!), Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

Other: Glue Dots, bakers twine, black gel pen (Sakura)

Hey

Yay, it's Friday! The Little Guy is on Spring Break next week. We had planned a last-minute trip down to San Diego, specifically Carlsbad, where Legoland is located. The forecast was showing rain most of the week for the San Diego and Anaheim area, so we're not going. I was even looking up last-minute package deals to Maui. Hey, a girl can dream, right? We'll be relaxing and taking little days trips around the Bay Area instead.

Tomorrow is a rubber stamp convention in San Jose from 9 to 4 PM. I plan to attend for a couple of hours.

Here's another card using For the Love of Dots and Look Up from Practicing Creativity. Can you tell I enjoyed Courtney's stamp designs? I've been using them all week.

Thanks for stopping by!
