Chocolate chip and sage shadow…great combo

 I don't know why I don't use this To the Nines designer paper more often. It is so pretty. I just love the chocolate chip and sage shadow combo. For this card, I used the big shot to texture the top part and then I used the pinking hearts border punch for the center piece. I also used the fancy flower punch and layered that to give it a vintage look.

Here is a close up of the flower. I did stamp the leaves from Le Jardin Botanique on them also and crumpled the up to give it more texture.  I love the corduroy brads too. They look great in the center of any flower.

Mojo Monday a couple days late….

What a week! (and it is only Wednesday!) I have been running around crazy the last couple of days but I finally had time to sit down and do the Mojo Monday challenge.

Here was the sketch….you could pick the round one or the square one and I did the square one.

and here is my card….

I used the Stampin Up "To the Nines" specialty designer paper on pg 163 for my background piece and then I added some chocolate chip and sage shadow also. The leaves are from the Le Jardin Botanique set on pg 110. I stamped those in sage shadow and stamped the sentiment in chocolate chip. The ribbon is that luscious striped chocolate chip grosgrain. It is so soft and really makes a gorgeous bow. Oh, I also did the sage piece with the new scallop trim border and corner punches. I hope you like it!

Le Jardin Botanique

This is a card one of my downline (Pam Browne) made for me. SHe used the Le Jardin Botanique set (which I love) to create this card. Very simple yet so elegant.
