missing you


I created this card for the Papertrey Ink release featuring the new Year of Flowers: Mums stamp set and a sentiment from the Fillable Frames #2 set.  I random stamped the flower on white cardstock to create the patterned paper and then stitched it to a piece of harvest gold cardstock.  I cut a piece of white cardstock with the mat stack 1 die and stamped the mum flower again.  I colored it with copic markers, stamped the sentiment, and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock.  Then, I cut around the die cut using scissors to create the black mat.  I finished my card off with some black stitched ribbon and a harvest gold button.


We're all busy getting ready for Christmas, creating hand crafted cards and other homemade goodies.  I  added some new wrinkle ribbon to my shop, Apple Blossom Paperie,  that is the perfect finishing touch.  The new colors are a beautiful Candy Apple Red, Antique Lace, and Leaf green.  (That photo just makes me happy!  I love all those pretty colors together!)  I also reduced my price on my wrinkle ribbon by 25%.  You will now receive 4 yards of each color instead of 3 yards for the same great price.  You can see all my wrinkle ribbons here in the shop.

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Niki
