Since I love nature, I have admired how other papercrafters have used this stamp. It is the Gathering by Penny Black. Since I had to go shopping for shoes to go with my dress for my son's upcoming wedding, since I happened to stop by Hobby Lobby, since they had 50% off all wooden stamps, since they had this one, I had to have it! I have created this card for 4 challenges:
Penny Black #117-use purple, brown and cream
Penny Black at Allsorts-September Challenge-use punches
Just Us Girls #49-a sketch
Stampin' for the Weekend #46-Vintage or Shabby
The paper is Ella Blue. I ran the purple panel through the Cuttlebug snowflake folder and sponged it with brown ink. I also sponged around the image and the saying which is StampinUp. I punched the snowflakes and added gems to the middles.The punch down the sides of the purple panel is Martha Stewart. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day tomorrow in the US and thanks for stopping by!
