Last Jewelry Inspiration Challenge!

Stacey's Stamping Stage is getting a blog makeover and along with it she's going to be introducing a fun new challenge. So this will be the last Jewelry Inspiration Challenge. Sniff. I'm a bit sad--I love her showcasing the fascinating jewelry--but I am sure her new challenge will be just as creative and fun!


I also decided to use the Mojo Monday #96 Sketch to complete this card.


The colors felt a bit nautical to me, so I pulled out my New Horizons stamp set and starting working. When it came time to attach a bow, I called up my dad to teach me to tie a nautical knot.


What do you think, Dad? Did I get it right?



Details: all CTMH unless noted

Paper: cranberry cs, desert sand B&T, indian corn blue B&T, colonial white cs

Ink: desert sand

Stamps: New Horizons

Other: twine (stash) foam squares, edge distressor, glue dots-what a lifesaver those are!
