Dogwood Blossoms Thank You

This is my card for today's featured stamper challenge over on SCS.  Linda has a gorgeous gallery and there was lots of inspiration there.  I am thinking about making a couple more of these this afternoon in different colors I like it so much.  I used the stamp set "Dogwood Blossoms" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company.  I even stamped a small single dogwood blossom on the inside of the card.

Stamps:  Dogwood Blossoms
Paper:  Snow Storm Smooth, Peach Parfait, Always Artichoke
Ink:  Always Artichoke
Misc:  Embossing folders, pearls, copics, ribbon

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!  Going back upstairs to my crafting room to make more cards. 

Happy Stamping!

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I haven't distressed a card in a longtime.  I stamped the cowboy and then wadded up the image.  I flattened it back out, then sponged it with early espresso.  I stamped the background of the large dark chocolate bar piecd with the barbed wire image that is in the set, but you can't see it in the photo.   It has a very subtle look IRL.

Stamps:  Hey Cowboy, sentiment Fabulous Dogs
Paper:  Corn Husk, Dark Chocolate Bar, blue
Ink:  early espresso
Misc:  mini paper clip, brown twine

Thanks for joining us today.  Please come back tomorrow for our last day of the hop.

Happy Stamping!
