On to the card! The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the inspiration picture was: "Darn!! I wish I had that Stampin' Up! ornament punch so I could invert it and use it as a vase and add some flowers in it as per the inspiration piece." No such luck - at least for now - as it will be in the new SU catty and is on my "to buy" list :D Thankfully, I received my Vintage Vogue set this week (yeah!!), so I had some new rubber to play with. Just love this set and not sure why it took me so long to get it! Be warned, you may see it a lot over the next weeks LOL! I couldn't get any yellow to work with what I had in mind, and the foliage image in the set just didn't look right in yellow, so thankfully I had some yellow striped ribbon from one of my Michael's ribbon bin diving adventures that I was able to use. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with that bin....love the ribbon selection it has, but hate having to dig for it LOL!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marisa! One would NEVER know you had misplaced your mojo and were in the dark! Hee! Beautiful colors and design! Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Marisa! I love the fresh orange against the white!!! That ribbon was definitely worth the digging! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

What are you talking about? Losing your mojo? NEVER! LOVE this card (reminds me of Silke's style which I love!). Congratulations are in order for you...lucky you...winning Julee's paper pads! :-) Hope your Mother's Day was a special one!
ReplyDeleteSuper, once again, Marisa! I have resisted this set, too. I still don't have it, but if you keep using it...it could happen!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your love/hate relationship with the ribbon/stamp bin at Mike's. It's too darn enticing but anymore I have to be in the mood to dig! You picked out a great one, I may have to be on the lookout for something like this. Have you been lately? I bought flocking in the dollar bin...awesome!
Those colors have really been made into a masterpiece in your 'only thing that worked' =) I love it!
ReplyDeleteHAH! If this is losing your mojo, I want to lose mine too, LOL! This is GORGEOUS girl!!! Love this! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great ribbon.. Ours never has any pretty ones.. This is perfect. I am so glad to see you stamping. I kept visiting and had begun to worry... These colors are beautiful.. Great job.
