Here's on of my favorite cards that I have made recently. The colors were inspired by the striped papers from the Elegant Soiree DSP in the Idea Book & Catalog. The card base is Sahara Sand, sponged and stamped with the flourish from Elements of Style. Then I layered on the stripes and a piece of Not Quite Navy cardstock run through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper folder.
On top of that went the hummingbird image, stamped in Not Quite Navy ink on a torn piece of Newsprint DSP (my favorite!). By the way, watch out when you use that DSP so that you don't have an unpleasant word from the gardening section (manure, anyone?) or an unintentionally funny or inappropriate advertisement in some terribly obvious place on your card!
Then I added the Scalloped Oval punch sentiment (from Oval Alls) and some Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon with a small safety pin from Vintage Trinkets on it. It also has Gold Glow Smooch Spray on it, which you can't see too well in the photo. Love that stuff!
Too funny about having to be careful about the Newsprint DSP! I never thought of it...now I have to go look more closely at what it says. This card is so lovely. I am loving the vintage stuff that's in style right now!

You SHOULD feel special, Theresa! You are a really neat person and I am SO glad I met you. Chalk up another blessing to stampin'!

Oh boy Lyssa, I think you get more and more talented with every card you make! This one is just exceptional- I can see why you love it! And how funny about the Newsprint DSP- the manure part would be hilarious with the new Homegrown set!
