Big Event! Day 6

Hi Everyone! Jennifer and I are back with Day 6 and sadly tomorrow will be the end of our week challenge, but we hope to bring some more fun in the future. But it is not all over yet so to get Day 6 under way we are using the Hero Arts stamp, Garden Bouquet. I wanted to create a card that had simplicity but also was simple to create.

To produce this card, I used Kraft card stock as the card and taking the Hero Arts, Thank You Sayings stamp set, I left all the sentiments on the clear plastic sheet and inked it up with Colorbox Ink, Frost White and placed the Kraft card stock over the stamps to form a background image. I then cut a circle out of the collection from My Minds Eye, Quite Contrary and stamped the Garden Bouquet in black, I adhered the circle to the front of the card using foam dimensionals. Next, I cut a tag using some white card stock and stamped a sentiment form the Hero Arts, All Occasion Messages stamp set and adhered this also to the card using more foam dimensionals. Lastly, I added some green rhinestones to match.

So there you have it, a very quick card to produce, but one which I hope has an impact.

Here are the products used to create this card:



I just wanted to add a little note that Jennifer will be posting her card for the challenge a little later, so be sure to check back in at her blog to find what wonderful creation she has made for Day 6 of our challenge.

So we will be back tomorrow to bring you the final day, I am feeling sad about this already, but excited yet again to see what Jennifer has created and also your wonderful comments.

Hugs

JOY
