Pointsettias

Just a quick post before I am out the door to work. My classes over the weekend were fabulous! I had so much FUN with both groups. But boy was I ever exhausted! I finally got around to putting everything back in my stamp room yesterday and then last night I ventured into my stamp room to actually put stuff away. Of course I got side tracked and ended up making a quick card. *grin*
I got an order from eP just the other day and I just had to do something with the adorable daisyd’s 6×6 Paisley Sugarplum paper pad. As I was shuffling through it I discovered this pointsettia pattern that seemed to go perfectly with a package of Making Memory Pointsettia Blossoms (paper flowers with brads) I had purchased at Target. So away I went….
I wanted a simple image to showcase the fabulous paper and Block Party was still sitting out from class – perfect! I only stamped part of the image, masking off and omitting the bottom section when I inked it up with Versamagic Red Magic ink. The image was stamped on Poison Ivory shimmer cardstock and then brayered with Creamy Caramel classic ink to give it a more antiqued feel. Card base is 5″ x 5″ and cardstock colors are Old Olive and Real Red. I used the distressor from the SU Cutter Kit to really rough up the edges of the olive mat around the stamped image. Ribbon is SU Old Olive grosgrain topped with a stitched red grosgrain from my local ribbon warehouse. Stickles were added to the blossom to finish off this very simple card.
My custom cabinet designed for my stamp room is finally here! It’s sitting out in the garage so the laquer can cure. I can’t have the fumes in the bird room. I’m hoping to be able to bring it in and fill it up this weekend. I’ll be certain to share to pictures when I do get it inside. I can hardly wait!
Thanks for stopping by.

Jami, this is darling. I love that paper. I so enjoy getting your blog updates by email and have linked your blog to my new blog. I guess it would have been nice to ask your permission first. Please let me know if it is a problem.
