Market Street Block Party

What do you do when you are stuck at home waiting for Hurricane Irene to pass by?

Well, aside from celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary with an awesome home cooked dinner of steak + lobster salad, I cut some time out to make this card...


Market Street Stamps has a new challenge. I needed an excuse to ink up my stamps and I believe in supporting this great new company. I was the grand prize winner of 3 months of Market Street Stamps a few months ago and shame on me, I barely inked them up. This is the first time I created a card just for fun outside of DT duties in quite some time I believe. I've been experimenting with color mists lately -- also something I have an excess of for over a year now. I think I have the complete collection of Smooch Spritz. :P Black + pink + cream really is a knockout color combo!

Stamps used: (Hippie Chic, Vintage Music), Market Street Stamps
Other: (Black Velvet) Smooch Spritz
By the way, Hurricane Irene delivered a whole ton of rain and I practically stayed up all night listening to the wind whip and howl. But otherwise, it didn't really affect us. Thank you to everyone who kept us in their prayers.
