Two Challenges...1 Card

For this card I used Limelight's sketch which required 4 lines of ribbon and I followed the rules for the Limited Supplies Challenge over on SCS, which required only 3 colors - white, black, and one color of your choice and white had to be the most prominent. I used masking on two of my Unity stamps to create this. First, I took my dream tree and masked half of it, stamped it in my Versafine black ink, and then stamped it so it looked more like a branch. Then I took my Unity blossom quote (which you can see the full stamp on one of my cards below in a previous post) and just inked up the word blossom. To finish off the image, I added some prima flowers and put some crystal ice stickles in the center of each flower. I do not have any die cutting machine yet so my circle is actually hand cut and then I cut out a slightly larger circle with my scalloped scissors. Here are the rest of the details: Cardstock: Bazzill White & SU Purely Pomegranate, Stamps: Unity (Growing in Unity set & Blossom single), Ink: Versafine onyx black & Marvy Matchables wine, Prima flowers, Crystal Ice Stickles, Making Memories black eyelets, and black ribbon (unknown).

On another note...today is World Alzheimer's Day and if you have not already checked out Carolyn's blog, please visit her blog this week and see what she is asking all of us to do to thank those who work with Alzheimer patients. Both my grandmother and great grandmother sufferred from this disease and I am so thankful that Carolyn is helping to raise money and awareness for it.
