Enjoy Life

This was the first card that I made with my new Papertrey goodies. I picked up this patterned paper from Michaels a few weeks ago and used it only once. It seemed perfect for this card and it all came together very quickly.

I love the look of stamping on patterned paper, so I thought I'd try it with the new Fancy Flourishes stamp set. The paper is K&Company Que Sera Sera and it is full of color and collage and great images.


The flourish is stamped in Elegant Eggplant. The sentiment is from Star Prints - doesn't it go so well with the flourish? The patterned paper is layered on a piece of SS white that had been trimmed with my pinking blade. The card base is Lemon Tart. I inked all the edges with the new Vintage Touch Tea Dye Duo. I love how these inks absorb into the paper for a soft, matte look. A new favorite! Some colorful buttons add a finishing touch! Its hockey time here in the 'Burgh, so I'm going to give the game my attention. Its been back and forth so far. Go Pens!

Thanks for stopping by - I have some more new stuff to share with you tomorrow! Have a perfect evening!
