Just because


I got my new Papertrey goodies and just had to make a card with this gorgeous new color, Hawaiian Shores. I'm also using a new stamp set--Beautiful Blooms II, and new Dark Chocolate Felt. The Hawaiian Shores layer is also embossed with the Tin Type embossing plate but it's not showing up at all in my picture. I cut the felt with the Medium Scallop border die, attached it with Zip Dry adhesive and tied a Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon around. The sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages. For the flower, I first die cut the shape, then stamped the image on the Hawaiian Shores layer and the Dark Chocolate layer. Then I popped them up on foam squares and added a big ol' Dark Chocolate button to the center. More buttons across the bottom finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll have a new Stamp Simply challenge for you tomorrow so I hope you'll drop back by then.
