Last night, while staring blankly at my craft desk and wondering where to start, I decided to take a little break and cruise Facebook for a minute. So glad I did! My dear friend Julie Day had just posted that she had recieved some new Market Street Stamps goodies in the mail and was getting ready to get inky! I saw that as an opportunity for some inspiration and asked her what she got! She said she was super excited to break into her Gone Campin' set so I decided to play with my Gone Campin' set, too! Paired that with the Play Date Cafe Challenge and the Clean and Simple Sketch for this week and I had a pretty straight forward plan! Perfect for breaking through the lack of creative motivation!
Here's the Clean and Simple Stamping Sketch (#150)
And the Play Date Cafe Challenge:
And here's my card:
Oooohhh... I think I like it!
I used some Making Memories patterned paper for the background and added a little Summer Sunrise satin ribbon (all ruffled up) to accent the focal image and add a pop of color. I have to say that Summer Sunrise is one of my favorite colors, especially for a big POP against neutrals! Colored the campfire with Copics.
I think this card might make even the fanciest ladies wanna sit around a campfire! Love adding some elegance to something generally associated with getting dirty... lol!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!
