Long time...no blogger...no stampin'

Hi! Hope you are all doing well! It's been awhile since I stamped, so it was good to back into the swing of things this week. Just took a little break, that's all! So glad you stopped by to visit!

Here is a card that I created for my Day-Time Stampin' Classes and Stamp Club this month. We used the bleaching technique. I poured a little bleach over half of a piece of white felt in a shallow dish. The other half was dry so that we could "stamp off" the bleach a bit before stamping on the Pretty in Pink cardstock. Otherwise you could have had a pool of bleach that probably wouldn't look very pretty!

Supplies:
Stamps: Flower Fancy, Think Happy Thoughts
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Bleach
Paper: Kraft, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: 1-3/8" & 1-1/4" Circle Punches, Fillagree Brads, Ivory Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals, 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch

Take care and I'll see you soon!

another FTL41...Happy Birthday!

Hi! I was inspired again by yet another card created by Jill at Jill's Card Creations. You can see her card here. And the layout is one that follows FTL41 on the Clean & Simple Blog. I created 2 cards using this similar layout. For both cards, I forgot to stamp the dotted circle in the background in the corners. After I forgot the first time, I told myself over and over again, not to forget on the next card because it just adds a little touch. But lo and behold, I forgot!! Oh well, just look at Jill's card and use your imagination on my cards! LOL!
