Thinking of You

Hello! My posts have been a little erratic lately...that's what happens when your BFF comes to visit! We have managed to fit in some stamping between walks, shopping, and a getaway to Vermont, but not as much as usual cause we're having so much fun doing other things! And, my posts will remain a little erratic for the next few weeks because my family arrives later this week and my parents will be here for a good long visit. But I have been thinking of you and I just wanted to let you know I'll be back to more regular posting in October. :)

In the meantime, I needed a card for my friend after her uncle passed away so I reached for an SU set (the name escapes me right now and I'm not in my stamp room). I inked it up with markers, olive and chocolate, then stamped it onto Choice Buttercream. The patterned paper is retired SU and I really liked the subdued colours and pattern for this card. I saw this layout on a card on this card on Laura Fredrickson's blog a while ago and loved the simple layout so I filed it away in my memory. I think it's just perfect for my card! If the edges look a little wrinkled, it's cause they are. I tried to distress them a little after the layers were stitched together but it didn't work as well as I wanted. I finished the card with some chocolate grosgrain ribbon and tied that cute bow with my Bow Easy...love it!

Thanks for stopping by!
