Hope everyone is well this fine morning. Actually, it's 6:30 a.m. here and I can't believe I am up so early. After all, I am on summer vacation! A wood pecker was trying to drill into the stucco near my bedroom window this morning and I woke with a start. Once my heart started racing after being awakened, I decided I'd just get up. I need to get dressed before the workers get here to finish my living room floor anyway. Finish! What am I talking about? They haven't even started it. After waiting around for them for half a day yesterday, they finally let me know they wouldn't be working as the floor needed to "breathe" a little while longer before installing. They tell me they will get it all done today, but I have my doubts and I think we will be living with this disaster area we call a house for a few more days. I so love the finished product when we remodel things, but I despise the mess in the meantime.
On to the card...I used an old favorite here. I haven't used my Medallion stamp for quite a while and I decided I'd better pull it out and give it some work before the new IBC comes out on July 1st. Who knows what the fate of this stamp will be? Well, actually, I do because I already got my complimentary copy and I know exactly what is happening to it but I can't tell you yet! :) All I can say is if you love it and you want it, maybe you should visit my online store. The item number is 115223 and it is $17.95.
This isn't a very good photo of this card because you can't tell that the paper I used was whisper white for the base and brushed silver card stock for the piece that looks gray (#100712--$7.95). I also used a little piece of brushed silver punched with the Decorative Label Punch behind the white card stock I used for the sentiment. Does all of that make sense?
I stamped the Medallion image with white craft ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder and my heat tool.
I stamped the frame around the sentiment using the Four Frames stamp set that will be appearing in the new IBC when it comes out in July. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used silver embossing powder for both the frame and the sentiment.
And the ribbon...the ribbon is some retired Stampin' Up! ribbon of which I have an over abundance and decided to use. But, any shiny white ribbon will do, like the 5/8" satin ribbon in the current catalog...#114616--$8.95. All of the 5/8" satin ribbons will be retiring at the end of the month so if you love it, you better get it while supplies last. Just visit my On Line Store to view the remaining items that are on that list.
Here are the item numbers and prices for some of the items I used that I didn't mention previously.
Basic Pearls #119247 $4.95

I think that's it, Peeps. If you have any questions, please let me know. Until then...
Happy Stamping~
