I had a class last night and it went till about 11ish, and ended up going to bed really late. The result? Overly tired this morning, so I needed something to de stress. So this is my morning me time result :-). But it was SOOO much fun and the girls had a great time making their lovely cards (will post on the blog in the next few days) and catching up with each other.
I didn't add a sentiment and left the inside blank on purpose. This way I can use it for different occasions.
It started with the Paper Pals Art Sketch 139. (Card Entry no.34)
The stamp set I chose for it was Serene Silhouettes and thought it would be really nice on a neutral color combo, and the Just Add Ink 127 Color Combo (mine is card no.22)was perfect!
Went with the Mocha Morning Specialty Paper from SU. The colors were black and white and a color of my choosing. Mocha Morning goes really well with crumbcake card stock. So I went with, black white and crumbcake. I really like how the ribbon at the side turned out. I was going to use a strip of paper and then discovered this wide black double stitched ribbon from SU in my scrap jar and thought it was just perfect!
Supplies used:
SU Whisper White, Basic Black and Crumbcake Card Stock
SU Black Double stitched Ribbon (Retired)
SUAntique Brads
Mocha Morning DSP (Retired)
Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set
Basic Black Ink Pad
Velvet ribbon
Hope you like it,
Hugs,
Renate

This is a beautiful card Renate. The dsp and ribbon works so beautifully with that image. Great idea to leave it blank, as it could be used for so many different occasions. Thanks for joining us at JAI this week.

Loving seeing the Crumbcake combined with Black & White for our Challenge. The addition of the flocked Mocha Morning paper is perfect. Thanks for joining it with us at JAI this week.

Thank you ladies for the lovely comments, the sketch was really nice to start with and I am a fan of neutrals, and HAD to go with the Mocha paper for that, I wish there was a whole package with just this paper :-))
