This is my scrap challenge for Scrappilyeverafter. I've had this grape cluster rubber stamp for over 5 years. I stamped some out on white cardstock but never knew what to do with them. I bought a Martha Stewart punch last week (with a coupon of course), played around with some cardstock scraps and put them aside rather than throwing away. A dedicated cardmaker NEVER throws scraps away...haha Around that same time, I saw Dawn's ( My Stamping Thyme) blackberry cluster card on her blog and fell in love with her design. I didn't come close to the beauty of hers, but I am content with the outcome of mine. It was her inspiration. Thank you Dawn. I don't have a sentiment for it yet...but when the time comes to send it to that special person, I will know.
Details: old grape cluster rubber stamp images, oval nestabilities (3 layers), dry embossing of squares on first layer, leaves embossing folder on 2nd layer, MS border punch, copic markers, and scrap ribbon. (I would had rather use silk ribbon, but didn't want to buy since this was suppose to be made with scraps..this was the closest I could find to meet my needs). Size: 5x7

Very pretty! First thing that caught my eye was the border punch! I like!! :)
ReplyDeleteFor the sentiment, how about you stamp a few of those great faces you have, and a "Need a Squeeze?" :) Or a sour face and a line to play off the "sour" (you can come up with something, I'm sure! You are great at the sentiments, and word play!).
Nice job on this, Cely!!
Beautiful card... I love it...
