Today's card uses Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try 11/29/08 and Color Challenge #195 of Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Sahara Sand. The main image from Upsy Daisy was stamped first with Jet Black Staz-On, the stamped again in Sahara Sand Classic Ink using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for a shadowed effect. The sentiment was stamped with Jet Black Staz-On onto Very Vanilla prior to dry embossing with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The large Sahara Sand background piece was stamped in Versamark with the Polka Dota background stamp. I'm not wild about my use of the Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, but am out of Basic Black, and it does not come in Sahara Sand (but sure wish it did for this card!).
