But just like every stampaholic, somewhere buried in my stash I found exactly what I needed! I combined two different My Mind's Eye mini pads with a sheet of Authentique and came up with this rather lovely grouping. YAY ME! I took the scraps and cut some flowers and added some vintage seam binding to my stamped tag.
I wanted to layer this blue label die in somehow, but didn't like covering that beautiful grey paper, so after much agonizing, I came up with the idea to cut it in half and piece at the top and bottom. I thought it would have been cool to attach string to each piece, but that seemed to detract from my layout.
I decided a row of pearls on the top and bottom would really make this card fun! Lastly, I stamped the pretty little stem and stuffed it behind the flower. Love using my stamps to make embellishments!
And there you have it, my Sensational Stripes & layered goodness. I am so excited to have found Verve stamps. I simply adore the sentiments and scripture Julee creates! GUSH!
I'm linking up to the July challenge HERE. Remember to celebrate every moment. It's a gift! I'm giving this card to my friend Mrs. Radke, who will be 81 on Tuesday. She makes every day feel like a birthday, with her love and friendship! Happy birthday!
