live in the moment

Wow, consecutive day posts.

Actually, it's still Monday. This is an autopost, lol.

I had this unfinished card tinkering around on my desk for a couple of days now and decided to just get it over with and move on.

I want to show you just how versatile this Silly Scape stamp is... and perhaps you might also realize that I'm just a wee bit obsessed with the stamp as well.


I went for the shabby and vintage look, and it was soooooo hard to stay away from pink. Balance. Old school charm. And that's another snipped sentiment from THIS stamp set.

My new loves, doilies and tattered looking ribbon that I hand dyed myself. I have a bunch of Smooch Spritz in basic colors, so I mixed in a mini mister a few drops of blue, a hint of green, and a wee bit of orange to get the turquoise color. Then I swiped it with some distress inks. Ta da! So simple! All those years majoring in Fine Arts does come in handy sometimes!

I hope it is shabby and vintage enough for Card Style Shabby and Vintage Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.
