I thought I had better use some of my stamps before they are retired without seeing any ink ! This is the first time I have used this stamp ( I must say it will not be the last , retired or not I will be keeping this one ...I just Love it ! Anyway I stamped the main image from " Fresh Cuts " with versamark and BB and use SU Black EP on Very Vainilla CS and heat set it . Then I sponged Cajun Craze , Always Artichoke , and So Saffron over it . I attached it to Apricot Appeal CS then sponged the edges with saffron and cajun ,then attached it to BB .I then added it to a piece of Apricot Appeal that was sponged and Spritzed with Saffron and Cajun.I punched the corners with the retired Wrought Iron Corner Slot . I used Versamark on the French Script BG stamped the Cajun Craze card base . After I added the image piece and I couldn't move it I found that the ribbon I was going to use did not fit well on the card ...so I started playing with my corner punch and found that with the base off of it and punching it at 1" apart it made a neat border so I made two of them added the to a piece of Cajun CS and sponged to match ,added the brads and attached it to my base then laced the black leather strip threw it and knotted it at the top. I added the Tiny pearls from SU #love these little guys # I really do like the way this card ended up....I made alot of mistakes but managed to hide most of them. Thanks for looking and have a Wonderful Day....Sherrylynn

Another beautiful card. Love how you used the corner punch. It looks like a punch I have too but didn't use for some time. Might have to try making a border like this too!
