I really like taking a sentiment and building a card around that with designer paper, die cuts and ribbon.
My card for today is using the Great Impressions Stamp - "nicest perks F189". I just love the font on this sentiment. I stamped it in melon mambo ink then used the labels 4 Spellbinders die to cut it out. I lightly sponged pink pirouette ink before removing it from the die.
The designer paper is from Stampin-Up's "cheerful treat collection". I love the polka dots in this paper. The designer paper colors work with pink pirouette, melon mambo and lucky limeade. So that's what I went with for my card.
My center band is a jumbo scallop cut from a die from MFT. I added pink felt rick rack over that.
Well that's it for me today. So until next time........God bless
