Ahh… Monday back to rear your ugly head once again I see. It really is funny how the weekend just flies by but the work week seems to move along at a glacial pace isn’t it?! I had a nice weekend and hope that you did too. I had my daughter Taylor and my friend Heather over for dinner last night. I made some Penne Rosa, pinned from Pinterest, and watched the Adjustment Bureau. A nice relaxing evening indeed! How was your weekend? It’s a blustery 15 degrees here this morning, now that’s chilly!
Today I have my Fab Friday card for their color challenge. They have supplied us with these colors to work with…
An interesting color combination and I have to admit that I had a little trouble with it at first. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock and the background is a piece of Baja Breeze that I stamped with the Netting Background Stamp. The three stamps are from the Postage Due Stamp Set and are stamped in Wild Wasabi and punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch. I used the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies to cut out three pieces of Perfect Plum. Before I adhered them to the back of the stamps I used the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce the chevrons in them. The greeting is from the Oh, Hello! Stamp Set. I markered each one of the letters and stamped them individually. The tiny postage stamp punch from the Lovely Little Labels Punch Pack is used to punch them out. I got the idea from the Spring Catalog. All of the elements are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the way the thank you looks all punched out and the Netting Background goes really well with the stamps. I hope that you enjoyed my Fab Friday card and thanks for visiting with me today. I hope you all have a bearable Monday!
