Hi friends! WHOOOO DOGGIES! It's 100 degrees here today. Yikes! SO not ready for the heat. It's gonna be a long hot summmmmmmer. Good thing the A/C is blasting away and Buddy and I are in the craft room gettin' busy. (Well actually he is passed out in front of the A/C vent and I'm gettin' busy - LOL). All day at work I was trying to come up with an idea for the Make It Monday challenge this week. I think it's a super cool idea.... Here's what I came up with!
The challenge is to cluster some tiny stamps around your sentiment. Totally fun, right? I chose a pretty "celebrate" word. For my card, I first stamped all the dots and stars in Mustard Distress Ink. I tried gold ink but it just wasn't working. Then I heat embossed my sentiment in nice rich black. And then added some gems. At first I was thinking it would be a birthday card, but now it sort of looks like a New Year's card?? What do you think?
I used three Papertrey Ink stamp sets for this card. My card base is cream cardstock from Papertrey Ink also. The stamps sets are: Think Big Favorites #15 (sentiment), Birthday Style (dots) and Balloon Bash (stars).
To finish off my card, I mounted the top layer on a black card base with some foam tape. Won't you try it? You still have time to make a card! CLICK HERE to go to the post to enter - or to check out everyone else's cards!
Have a fabulous day....and celebrate!
Actually Wanda--it made me think of a graduation card. Of course, I may have been influenced by the colors, my daughter's school colors are black and gold! Ha! Beautiful card!

This is really beautiful Wanda, and would be perfect for a birthday, New Year's, or any special event! I LOVE the tiny stars and dots! So rich and elegant with the bold embossed sentiment!
That is some crazy kind of hot you're having. We hit 90 a couple of days this week, and I thought we were in for it...but it's cooled back down a bit again. Fortunately! You hang in there!
