Enjoy Life

Good Morning!  I am not going to say a word about the weather.....but just go feel your card stock....that says A LOT!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Power Poppy, CSI (copy, steal, inspire--but not really steal), Scrapy Land, Anything Goes! Stamping Sensations, Anything Goes!  and Penny Black, Anything Goes, With A Stamp.

I found this pretty card on the Power Poppy Must See Customer Creations, it is by Patti's Stamping Studio (her Blog has been removed from the interwebs).

 
Here's what I came up with:
 
 
I used the Power Poppy stamp set, Short Stacks ( I just ADORE this set!)  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I added texture to my background using a Paisley Embossing Folder by Sizzix.   Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Ovals dies. 


 
A little free hand paper piercing using an oval die as a guide, half a doily backdrop.  Green Gingham Ribbon, double bow--impressive!  Button and Twine for accents.  I cropped the sentiment, removing sip by sip. 
 
LOVED Patti's color and design.....if she's out there I hope she sees this!
 
Thanks for coming by the crime scene! 
 
Enjoy~~

  7. Like most of the others, the colors are what hit me first. In a good way. They are so bright and beautiful together. The design, using half a doily is really eye catching and love the elements what you added. Great job finding this beauty to CSI.
