It’s Monday, which means it’s time for a new Paper Therapy weekly challenge! This week’s challenge is to create something using the first stamp(s) you purchased, or using your oldest stamp if you no longer have the first one.
I still have the first set I bought in 2002, which was retired by Stampin’ Up shortly afterwards. Because the image and sentiment are pretty small and simple, I decided to go super simple with the layout and follow along with the Lizzie Anne Designs weekly sketch. I used the Splitcoaststampers color combination challenge for my color scheme. Quick, easy and simple. An added bonus is that the relatively flat design will make this card a good one to donate to Operation Write Home for a soldier stationed overseas to send home to a loved one.
One thing I really like about this ribbon is that it can be two-sided. The “back side” that doesn’t show in this photo is polka dotted. If I don’t want the dots to show, like for this card, I can just flip the ribbon over to get the solid color. It’s kind of like having two different ribbons on one roll!
Supplies:
Stamps: Just a Note Mini (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Other: Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon (SU); Premier colored pencils (Prismacolor); odorless mineral spirits (Houston Arts)
