Olive You!

My hubby loves puns, so this stamp from Best of Love is perfect for a card for him!  The card base is, of courser, Old Olive.  I took a 5 1/4 X 4 piece of Real Red Coredinations cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot twice with the little border embossing folder.  Then I sanded it to show the hearts.  I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Jet Black StazOn.  I colored the image with markers then mounted it onto Old Olive cardstock.  I used Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon in the center.

Happy stamping!

Ode to retiring in colors

One of this month's Creative Crew challenges is to use the retiring in colors.  I have to say that this is my favorite set of in colors, and I will miss them!  (Stampin' Up is hinting that some of them might be staying!)

I decided to create a very CAS (clean and simple) card using just one stamp and all 5 of the colors.  I started with a note card and the love stamp from Best of Love.  I stamped the image randomly in all of the colors all over the card front.

Happy stamping!
