A Productive Day!

I had a very productive day today. I made several cards & couldn't decide which one to share with you first. I really Love this one so it gets to be showcased first.

I have a new found love ~ the Presto Patterns Specialty DSP. I used a small piece in the Father's Day card. This time I tried using my Stampin' Sponges to add the color. I Love the results! I used Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi and Marina Mist Classic Ink. The cardstock is glossy, and takes the color beautifully. I dabbed my sponge directly into my ink pad and then rubbed it onto the cardstock. The more I rubbed, the darker the color.

I used a different fold with this card too. Instead of having the fold being on the traditional 5-1/2" side, I cut my cardstock vertically and have the fold on the top. Another fun feature is the scallop edge on the bottom and one side of the front of the card. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch for this. I've added the beautiful White Organza Ribbon and accented the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set with the Scallop Oval Punch.
