Bloggers Challenge

This weeks bloggers challenge was to use the card layout on page 12 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.


For my version, I used papers from my Palette O' Prints (special from a few months ago). I also used Lisa S's idea for "fake brads". Punch your double circle punch, and glue them on! I love the look of the chipboard too...it looks very "suede-y" in real life. I just rubbd my Chocolate Chip ink pad directly on the chip board and let it dry, which didn't take long at all.

Stamps: Circle of Friendship

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, So Saffron designer series papers

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Other: double circle punch, On Board Accents Chipboard, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circle punches, mini glue dots, Apricot Grosgrain ribbon (I am surprised at how many colors this Apricot matches with!!!)
