A few weeks ago when I won Stacey's Jewelry Inspiration Challenge I received a beautiful card and stamp set from her in the mail. Here is her adorable card and the Best Yet stamp set from Stampin Up.
I was a little nervous to use it as I have never assembled my own stamps before and I just knew I would get it crooked or sideways or something. (Remember that for later.) Yesterday I braved it and assembled the set. Whew! No problems, even with two little monkeys hanging on me and trying to grab the label stickers out from under me. Today I sat down during Little m's nap to work out a card.
As you can tell, I had to use that yummy ribbon from Hobby Lobby again. Sadly, I realized that this particular roll only has three yards! Whatever will I do when it runs out??
Anyway, are you ready for the irony? If you haven't already guessed it. That flower stamp from CTMH...I stuck it on sideways. That's funny, right? Maybe later I'll fix it. Maybe not.
Details: all CTMH unless noted
Paper: Sorbet cs, Chocolate cs, Vanilla Cream cs
Ink: chocolate
Stamps: Best Yet (SU!) Blossom Blocks (CTMH-ret'd)
Other: Hobby Lobby ribbon, edge distressor, foam squares

Beautiful card, that ribbon is gorgeous!
I love getting new stamps and putting them together...anal as I am about getting them straight! Many that I inherited from my mother are crooked and it drives me nuts, though I've figured out which ones and just how crooked they are!
Congrats on your win Mere!!! I have never seen a SU stamp LOL I had no idea you had put them together...
I LOVE that ribbon...hoard it!
Your card is wonderful and if you hadn't said about the flower I would not have known as it looks just fine like that.
