Well...it's different. I rather like it. The lighting kind of washed out the stamped image, but it's clearer in real life. Once again, I CASEd it from Splitcoast Stampers.

Supplies:

Ivory Card Blank (The Paper Studio)
Fresh "Outdoors"--Spring Greens/Sprout Paper (My Mind's Eye: Jen Wilson's 29th Street Market)
Lavender bunch (PSX)
Border Punch (Fiskar)
Peeled Paint (Tim Holtz Distress Ink)
Ribbon (Celebrate It: Harvest)

I'll have the second one in this mini-series tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

This one is like a waffle. Some days I like it. Some days I just look at it and think it needs something else. I think, in retrospect, I should have used a designer paper on the left side and not just the card blank. I also think the white Bazzill cardstock is too white--too stark. But then....I really like the flourishes and the burgundy cardstock. But then I think...the marker color I used for the flowers doesn't match.

But then...

Waffle, waffle, waffle.

This one will probably sit in the card box for a while. :-)

Here's the second card I made with Splitcoast Stamper's quilted card technique. I used October Afternoon's South Forty again. I really don't like the back of this paper, just the brown/blue flowers, but I liked the way they looked together in this design. Check out yesterday's blog for all the instructions. I changed the sentiment and used Distress Ink (Walnut Stain) on the strip, placing more Bazzill brown cardstock behind it. I like how the ink makes the little strip pop. The button is from foof-a-la.

Today is Maundy Thursday. What does that mean for you?
