The Last of the Need to Speed

Remember the beautious vintage card from yesterday?  Well the background on today's card uses the same Clockworks stamp set.  How about that for versatility?  The Need to Speed stamp set will retire this week and I have really enjoyed using it.  I do have my eye on a replacement that the men folk in my family will really appreciate.

Vintage Time

This is been a really busy time for me but wanted to get a card posted.  This is a beautious design by Carolyn King who I just love to copy.  A sentiment from Tiny Tiny Wishes with the Word Window punch will work for many occassions.  Everything was sponged with Crumb Cake except the clock.

If my Grandma was still with us, this would be her card.

Don’t Light the Sky

Love the Best of Birthdays stamp set especially this one.  It’s perfect for those in my age bracket.  We don’t want to light the sky or anything.  I added paper piercing to Mary Fish’s design.

Wisteria Swallowtail

Wisteria Swallowtail

I have to say that the Swallowtail background stamp is absolutely fabulous to work with.  Brian King created this design using Sahara Sand.  I thought to try it using Wisteria Wonder.  Any color would due for this monochromatic design.  Thanks Brian for your inspiration.

Make a Wish

The delightful color pallet of the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper is so much fun to mix and match.  To achieve the Shirley Temple curls, I used a long screwdriver wrapping the ribbon around it and heating it with the heat tool.  Be careful doing this because the ribbon will melt.  I learned the hard way.
