Stampin' Gals Gone Wild Weekend Challenge! Join me! www.SimplySimpleStamping.com

 

What a wild week it’s been for me!  The play, friends in town visiting, plus preparing for a huge remodeling project, I really needed some stamping time for myself.  I thought this week’s sketch was kinda cool!

Here’s what I designed for this weekend’s challenge…

I just got the Number of Years Bundle (page 10-11 of the Occasions catalog) and it was out on my desk when I started to work on the challenge for this weekend.  Well, if it’s already out, why not use it?

I knew I wanted to incorporate some glimmer paper in the challenge too.  Pool Party and Silver Glimmer paper….so pretty!  Before I adhered the glimmer paper I thought I would use the banner framelit on it.  You know I HATE to waste glimmer paper and since it would be hidden anyway, why not?

I chose to layer the card base on a piece of Smoky Slate just for a little more color.  It’s much prettier in person.  It’s hard to photograph glimmer paper.

I think this card is my favorite though.

I have had the Going Global stamp set (page 39 of the Occasions catalog) for a little while and I really needed to get it inked!  I just stamped a few images on the Delightful Dijon card base in Versamark ink for a tone-on-tone look.

SO glad I bought the matching Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack with it though.  That paper is fantastic!  I love the 6″ x 6″ size too.  This card was made with just one piece (stars on one side, map on the other)

Just a little Gold Metallic Thread behind the sentiment and my card was done.  Don’t you love it?
