Just a note...

Hi Everyone!  

Today's been a busy day, so I thought I'd leave you with just a little note... 

Today's card is a small one (4x4), but I thought it was perfect for a short note.  I thought I would try and stretch my stamps a bit and use one of the Stampin' Up! Christmas sets "Watercolor Winter."  It's a really pretty set that includes a poinsettia base image and an overlay (outline) image.  I stamped the poinsettia first with the lighter pool party ink and then with the darker baja breeze ink.  I then added some color to the center of the flower with copics and stickles. 


I used the pretty patterned paper for my color scheme, which incorporated the pool color in the flower and the navy ink from the sentiment.  I also wanted to pull the orange color, but I didn't have any paper that color.... but I did coincidently have a very similar ink color...


I just rubbed memento "peanut brittle" ink on a strip of vanilla card stock and voila!  The perfect color paper to finish the card!  The card was finished by rounding the opposite edges. 


Thanks for stopping by today!
