Buckle Inspired

Good morning!

Today I am off to Lincoln, Nebraska, where I am taking a Copic Certification class from Lori Craig all day!  FUN stuff!
Morning Lilies by Rubber Stamp Tapestry
I did have time late last night to make this black and white card for the SCS Inspiration Challenge.  We were directed to a site called Frankie and Julie and I chose THIS belt buckle as my inspiration piece.   

I embossed the edge of the oval with Ranger Silver EP.

This set is a new release by Rubber Stamp Tapestry called Morning Lilies. It is made for stamping on fabric, but works so well for paper too!


Be sure to check out Susan's blog for a tutorial on fabric stamping with the new sets and many other gorgeous card ideas!

I also made this for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Black and White Challenge HERE.

Who is Special?

Images by Hambo Stamps





Congratulations to Toni Storie {ravengirl} for being chosen SCS Featured Stamper last week!

I cased this darling CAS card of hers. I changed images, sentiment placement, papers, but kept her wonderful CAS (Clean and Simple) theme and layout.

I think this monkey is so cute and the sentiment just makes me laugh. All images are new releases by Hambo Stamps. Images are embossed and then colored with Copics.

I am having a little "me" time this week and am out of town, but I have some things like this fun card scheduled and hope they inspire you!

Stamps: Hambo Stamps
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, K & Co. DP
Ink: VersaColor Charcoal, Copics
Accessories: grosgrain ribbon, corner rounder, Clear EP
