Follow Your Heart.....

I wanted to make a simple card for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Dirty Girl Challenge, (fan club members only) - I know this is kind of a pain if you are not a fan club member of Splitcoast Stampers, I used to get peeved about it, then I joined!! and now I wonder what took me so long!!

Back to the card: In Sharon's words, this is all you need to Stamp Simply

"-Start with a simple layout/design and a beautiful image
-Use some favorite paper (either DP or cardstock)
-Add your stamped image and a sentiment if you wish
-Finish it off with a beautiful ribbon or other embellishment
-Simple, beautiful, done!!!"

I think I have accomplished these things in this card.......


My layout is simple - never mind that it took me an hour to figure it out


I used the paper that lately I seem to be using a lot of - green!! or in this case Kiwi!!


I only have one stamped image, and that is the background, which is Flourishes damask which I stamped in Brilliance Black.


The images on the white panel are both rub-ons!! Aren't they gorgeous!


How lame am I that I JUST discovered that I own some Stamping Up's rub-ons??!! Someone must have hidden them from me and I now just found them, kind of not buried, kind of in front of me.....ya--- so what?! LOL!!


I have finished the card off by adding vellum over top of the stamped background and then a little bit of organdy/organza ribbon - both swiss dot and plain. I don't know which one is the proper name ---all I know is that together, they are bee-yoo-ti-ful!!


So I followed the instruction to a tee and ended up at

"Simple, Beautiful and Done!!"

Thanks for looking!!
