SWEET SUNDAY FRIENDS

I couldn't wait to ink up my new stamp set that I received as part of my registration for Stampin' Up! Regionals last weekend - Vintage Vogue! It is now available from the new Occasions Mini Catalog. This is not a set that I would have considered purchasing, but now that I have it I love it! Sometimes stepping outside of the box of what styles we're used to can be inspiring! I paired the images with one of my favorite designer papers, Cottage Wall and used one of my favorite sketches, Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #52.

The other Sweet Sunday Stampers have samples to show you today too, so don't forget to stop on by to see:

I wanted to point out the right edge border of my card where I used the Eyelet Border Punch. By using the punch along the front edge of the card, the back panel becomes part of the sketch (See photo on left).

RECIPE

Stamps: Vintage Vogue
Paper: Cottage Wall DP, Textured Rich Razzleberry CS, Orchid Opulence and Whisper White CS
Ink: Old Olive, Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry
Embellishments: Lilac Circle Ice Rhinestone Brads, Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon
Tools: Eyelet Border Punch
Supplies: Stampin' Dimensionals

I have photographs from Regionals that I need to share with you too. Hoping I'll have extra time to post them over my three day weekend. We enjoyed a Cardinals Playoff Game Party yesterday (even though we lost), and am taking Allie back to college today. Her long winter break is over, and boy I'll miss her! It's been wonderful having her home!

To purchase any of the Stampin' Up! products used to make this project, go to my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Website.
