Stampin’ Up in the Air with FMS #22

[pinit]As I head out the door to what I hope to be my last temporary duty assignment overseas (not Hawaii this time), I needed a card idea that was “out of my comfort zone”…so I chose colors I seldom use.  I put this birthday card together for the {Freshly Made} Sketches #22.  I enjoy using every bit of paper from my inventory, but I often find myself neglecting some of the prints I don’t know how to use.  I pulled out a print that I had not used before and whala.  Continue reading below to find out about how to get free stamp sets from me through my Mata-bout Paper Rewards.

MATA-BOUT TIP: Pearls don’t always have to be white or vanilla color… it’s easy to change the colors with the use of a colored sharpie. I wanted the pearl color to stand out in the center of the flowers. Rhinestones can also be colored in to add a little bit of bright bling to any project.  All supplies needed to duplicate any of my cards are available through my on-line store and you can browse through it 24 hours 7 days a week!

Freshly Made Sketches #16

WoW! is all I think of when I made this card.  I litteraly made this card in 15 minutes!  No kidding.  I wanted to make the Freshly Made Sketches #16 contest and my goal was to get it done sometime before midnight.  I have just a few minutes left… feel free to check out all the other cards that were submitted for the contest at Freshly Made Sketches.

The sketch seems simple enough and I just had to give it a try.

Happy Stampin,
Maggie
