Thanks, you're the best

Hi all!  I don't believe I've posted this card yet, but I wanted to share the card that won me the Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking Stamping Royalty 2014 in the Thank You category!  This card measures 4x4.  The card base is Sno Cone and has steel grey for laying, as well as grout gray for the top layer.  I used one of the images from Damask Designs inked with grout gray (for a tone on tone look) to add a little something to the focal point of the card.  The flowers and steel grey stitched circle are from the Blueprints 12.  The 'Thanks' part of the sentiment was stamped in grout gray and is from a retired MPD set.  The 'you're the best' part of the sentiment was stamped in steel grey.  I added extra interest to the flowers by stamping them with the houndstooth stamp from the large scale backgrounds set and stamped the leaves with woodgrain background stamp in sour apple.  And of course I had to add steel grey buttons with some white twine for the flower centers ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!

Hi all!  So, in case you didn't see it yesterday...  I was chosen as a winner for THE Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking 2014 Stamping Royalty contest!!!!  OH.  MY.  WORRRDDDDD!!!!  Yes, I flipped out when I got the email but I was at work, so I contained myself as best I could, lol!!!  I am just so tickled and honored!      My winning card will be published in the July issue of Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine!  You can see the post here----> Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking 2014 Stamping Royalty.  I thought I'd share one of the other cards that I submitted for the contest.  I used MFT's DC Plaid Background Builder stamp set and the sentiment is from another set that I'm drawing a blank on!  The card base is lemon drop.  I also used kraft, black licorice and smooth white card stocks.  I used the same color inks plus sweet tooth pigment ink.  I added a few stars from the Stacking Stars die-namics, along with a few fishtail flag STAX to add extra detail to the 'award banner'.
