Ahh yes… Friday is still my favorite day of the week! I had a very nice day yesterday! I got some craftiness in in the morning and then went to have lunch with Heather. I stopped at the deli to pick up sandwiches and bumped into Brian! After lunch I came back home and stopped at my parent’s to see Daniel for a bit. Later on Heather came by and we ran up to BJ’s to get some goodies for Thirsty Thursday! She dropped me off and I followed her back to her house. I love Thirsty Thursday, we always have a great time and a really good laugh! By the time I got back home it was 12:00 and I was ready for bed! This morning I’m off to get a haircut and then I have some serious crafty things to get done!
The card that I have to share with you today is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
A banner! I do love a banner! LOL! The card base is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. Across the top is a piece of paper from the Heidi Swapp Hello Today 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 Paper Pad, a strip of Blushing Bride and a thin strip of Gold Glimmer Paper. They are adhered to the card with SNAIL and Fun Foam. My banner is a piece of Crumb Cake cut out with the Banners Framelits. I used the Concord & 9th Being Classy Dies cut out the kind and then stamped the word from the Being Classy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Night of Navy in the negative part. The banner is the adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. I die cut the Fun Foam with the kind die to make it sturdier. The so is also from the same set and is stamped again in Night of Navy on the banner. A few Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins finish the card! I love the font in the Being Classy Stamp Set and the coordinating dies are awesome! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you so much for visiting and enjoy your Friday! 🙂

WOW Justin! How cool to have stamped in the negative cut out. I don’t think I have ever seen that before. However did you come up with that idea? Very creative indeed!
Today is “housework” day at our house. The hubs really does a lot to help and I’m very thankful for that. Once that is done I’m off to do the shopping I was going to do yesterday. By the way, yesterday’s rain turned to snow in the afternoon but thankfully did not accumulate to anything much. It’s sunshine out there today so a good day to do the errands. Have yourself a Fun and Fruitful Friday. Love to you my friend! XO 🙂
Thank you so much Grace! I actually have seen other people do it and I love the look!
