Cherish

Reposted: This card and envie were published in the Nov. issue of Cards, pg. 118-119.

This is my first Baroque Motifs card. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The new PP is going to have to grow on me, although I DID like stamping on it. The colors are kind of uninspiring to work with, but after the card was completed, the colors seemed less boring and more elegant. I also created a matching envie for this card, I got so carried away with the flourish! This set is one that I thought I could do without, until I started seeing what everyone else was doing with it! (Yes, I am ALSO a victim of enabling! :)) I tell ya, SU! really needs to get some SCS input before they start designing their catalogs!

I've been in both a sponging and a organdy melting mood lately! I can't seem to stop doing it! I think, at least for the organdy part, the reason is that I have no other ribbon (and I have a LOT of ribbon) to match the new INs. Anyone else have this problem???

I also used my new Ice Rhinestone Brads from the Preview! I really like them! Mimi and I went in together on the new brads and spit them up, so as not to break the bank! :) They're very yummy!

So, in conclusion, I really like the new set, really LOVE the new INs, and am SO EXCITED to go to StampFest tomorrow! I'll have pix for you when I get back! Have a great weekend!

  11. Wow, the card looks wonderful! Really quite elegant and beautiful. I know what you mean about enabling: when I first saw the Baroque set, I didn't even like it. But then I saw what others were making, and realized it was a great stamp set to have for a variety of occasions. Now I'm just patiently waiting for mine to arrive. :-) And this means that someone else, besides you, has enabled me!!!! :-)
