Ahhh! The two weeks of extra shifts at work are over so hopefully I'll have lots of time to catch up with everyone and actually make some cards now. Yee haw! For this little card I used the colours from ColourQ and stamps from Market Street Stamps. I used VersaMark ink on the MSS gingham background stamp to get a subtle pattern on the red cardstock. I also used a button and some twine!!! I know... I'm getting a little crazy here. I thought of that wooden button when I started the card and was really impressed when I actually found it! LOL! Must dash now as hubby and I are going to dinner and then to an info session about a potential Portuguese class for me. Boa noite e ate amanha!Supplies Used

I love this scene - and the subtle detail of the gingham on the background - I love details like that - they add to the card as a whole without making it busy! Great rich colours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card Jen, Market Street stamps are on my shopping list for sure.

ReplyDeleteI love this! Love your tree and fabulous sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, clean card, Jen, love that it is summery! Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the ColourQ.
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet design Jen! I particularly love the button and twine, they are things I constantly add to cards and then pull away again, others make it looks sooooo easy... Yours is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe wood button is thee perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful dinner out. This little scene is oh so sweet!
ReplyDeletePortuguese? Awesome :) I've taken both French & German, but it seems that my brain is determined to remain stubbornly Anglo...whah.
