It has been raining for two days. It would have been a perfect time to create cards, but I had a better surprise. Miss Victoria has been with me for two days. There has been a bad stomach virus in her school, so guess who got it?!? Now, I am praying it doesn't pass through my house, too. She is 20 months of joy! I am one happy Grammy to spend time with her. She is such a cuddle bug, and she fills my heart with joy!
During nap times, I have crept out and made two cards. I had to do them in stages, so hopefully, I can get them posted before the Princess wakes up.
The Pals Paper Arts Colors Challenge intrigued me this week. I do not usually use these colors, but really loved how they looked together. I bought the new Photopolymer Stampin' Up! Ikat stamp set. I LOVE it!!!!! I am such a fan of Native American items and decor. I played around with it and came up with a pattern that I liked using Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder and Smokey Slate.
Stampin' Up! Products:
Paper: Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Wisteria Wonder, Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder
Stamp Set: Ikat (#134624) Banner Greetings (Hostess Set)
Tools: Stampin' Trimmer, Snail Adhesive, Paper Snips, 1 " Square Punch for Pennant, Stampin' Dimensionals

I made a border on my envelope and inside the card. I think this is the perfect card for a guy. Think of all the possibilities with the stamp set patterns and colors. I am certain you will see more cards with this stamp set in the future.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Have you ever used this stamp set? I would love to hear from you!
Stay warm! March is certainly not showing us Spring time weather yet!
Happy Stampin!
Claire

DeleteI love how you combined the two Ikat designs. This is one of my current favorite sets. I tried to pin it, but it just pinned the photo of your sweet granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendie! I am so happy to hear you enjoy the IKAT set, too! I am on Pinterest and you can pin my card there. Hope it works out. I struggle with technology. I wish I could help! X
