Celebrating You!

Happy Saturday! 
...and a long weekend too. 
I'm hoping to get some gardening and some stamping time in.

Here is a super fast card I created using my Distress Oxide inks and some products from Penny Black.  I think it took me about 10 minutes to do this one and I just love this colour combination.

For my card base, I used a piece of acetate inked with DOX inks.
To see my tutorial on this go here:

I die-cut the leaf and when the ink was dry, I placed the card base into my Misti and stamped the sentiment then glued on the leaf.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Have a great weekend.
