Girlz, do I ever need to reproduce this card in Hallmark quantities, my Christmas and New Years was filled to overflowing with gifts, well wishes, love and time, surprises...I know you get the picture! This card covers multiple challenges, thank you hostesses for the inspiration, Kim in the WT 199~~~use silver, Jenn in the HCE13~~~go for the old stuff, and Taylors' SCSNYE11~~~monochromatic.
I started with Nick Bantocks Vermillion Lacquer ink and stamped Anna Griffin's Reposse background onto GP white cs...cut and trimmed to size. The heartfelt sentiment (an old beloved stamp) was stamped directly to the card base. I used Marthas' lattice punch (something I had to have after seeing LazyLizard's beautiful cards using this). A piece of vintage German silver foil scrap and vintage white ric-rac. My buttons were part of a gift and the heart button from my Grandmothers' button box.
Pretty easy letting that gorgeous stamp carry the show. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful 1st day of the year!!!
