It felt good to sponge, distress and play with hardware yesterday!

I had a great time making this card while thinking of situations to use this card in.

Well, lets just say I came up with a few all involving my man! LOL

The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Chocolate chip cardstock folded in half and sponged.

Next is a 5″ square of Outlaw Designer paper. The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch and the edges faux stitched with All in a Row.

Next is a 3 3/4″ x 4″ piece of sponged Chocolate Chip cardstock. I distressed it with the Cutter Kit, layered with a 1/4″ smaller piece of Outlaw Designer paper and faux stitched with All in a Row.

that was followed by another piece of Outlaw Designer paper measuring 3″ x 3 1/4″. The left two corners were punched with the ticket corner punch, the right edge stitched with All in a Row. All four edges were paper pierced.

I added a double Photo corner in the top right of that layer. The bigger Photo corner is sponged Sage Shadow, the smaller one sponged and stamped Really Rust. Three Antique Brass Brads were place in the corner.

I stamped Wanted from the stamp set Wanted in Chocolate Chip on a 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece Very Vanilla cardstock. I sponged, distressed and paper pierced that layer and taped it to a 1/4″ bigger piece of sponged and distressed Sage Shadow cardstock.

I stamped the Medaillon from Wanted three times on Very Vanilla. Once in Really Rust, twice in Chocolate Chip. One Chocolate Chip image was punched out with the Scallop circle punch, from the other Chocolate Chip image the center was punched out with 1/2″ circle punch. I used the 1 1/4″ circle punch to punch the center circle out of the Really Rust image. Everything was layered on top of each other and  Antique Brads were added.

Here is the sketch for this weekend’s sketch challenge.

All of you who know have seen the Cosco paper batch, know I have a few more to giv eout as prizes.

SCS submissions

I apologize. I completely forgot that yesterday was the end of my challenge. I worked all day on a wonderful surprise for you. It won’t be here on my blog, but on SCS. But…it’s not for another two weeks. Sorry. I don’t mean to be a tease, just to give you a reason why I am updating my blog so sluggishly and I am not stamping like I used to. I can’t wait to show you what me and some other folks have been up to!
