Growing Green ... Red

The card i have to share with you today is one inspired by my upline Cate. A while back she gave me a swap she had created for Stampin' Up! training. I have adapted her concept to make this card:

The leaves image is from the 'Growing Green' stampset. I stamped this image is 'Basic Black' onto some 'Whisper White card. Using a 'Real Red' 'Stampin' Write Marker' i coloured the image in. The great thing Cate taught me is that you don't have to be neat with this! The sentiment has been inked in 'Real Red' and is from the 'Simply Said' stampset. This has been mounted on some 'Basic Black' and then 'Real Red' card. I then edged a strip of 'Whisper White' card with the 'Eyelet Border Punch'. I placed all of this on a 'Basic Black' cardbase. The card was finished off with some 'Real Red' 'Grosgrain Ribbon'.

That's the great thing about Stampin' Up! You get to share tonnes of ideas with other likeminded crafty thinkers!
