Split Coast Stampers- Inspiration Challenge 304

Over at Split Coast Stampers, I started my journey back to cardmaking by making a card for their Inspiration Challenge.  This week’s Inspiration Challenge comes from 2Modern, a wonderful on-line store founded by Greg Finney & Jennifer Sitko in 2003 to share their passion of modern design with the world.

I didn't have to go very far to find inspiration...didn't get past the first page!!

Here is what I came up with:

I got to use my new Martha Stewart Pine Needle Trim Double Edged Punch that I picked up from Archiver's yesterday with my 30% off coupon. Whoot!  I dusted the edges of the trim with my Tim Holtz's Distress Ink in Vintage Photo, my absolutely favorite color for that perfect burnt effect.  The sentiment and vine branch stamps come from Unity Stamp Company.  They are both from my Kit of the Month Set from May 2008 or 2009 (???) not sure on the year.  But the whole set is called  Another Sweet Day.  Sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and the branches are stamped with my Versamark stamp pad and then both are embossed with clear embossing powder.  And yes, we must always have a little bling-age.  Thanks for taking the time to check out my new design!

Until later..... Enjoy Your Day!
