Good morning! Today I really like how this card turned out. I LOVE this stamp from the August 2011 KOTM kit. I love Unity's Kit of the Month club. Each month for only $35 shipped you receive a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of fabulous rubber. It is so much fun getting happy mail each month :) If you are sign up please tell them who sent you....referrals are rewarded!! ;)
For todays project I created a card for my fabulous husband. Our anniversary is October 14th - can't wait for our upcoming weekend get-a-way! A quick background - he is a 5th generation carnival owner/operator and when I saw this image in August kit and it was just perfect for so many things in our family.
It has been a LONG time since I participated in any online challenges and I love to do so...so I found one to get me started on this card. I used the sketch from CPS current challenge.
I used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug to add some texture to the patterned paper. I then added some ribbon and adhered it to the card. Then I stamped the ferris wheel onto some white cardstock and freehand cut the shape around it. I then used my Creative Memories decorative trimmer to cut the curvy tag. I stamped the "You are Amazing" sentiment (also from the August 2011 KOTM) - what a fun and perfect font! I sponged some ink around the edges of each and adhered the tag and image. I then added a fabric button and sprayed the card with some Tattered Angels glitter mist. Just a simple piece of the green patterned paper to the inside of the card and voila.
