A little note to say......

It's Monday and I'm happy to say I did get a little bit of card making done over the weekend.  I used up some scraps on Saturday and then on Sunday I had a few hours to use a few stamps that I haven't really had a chance to use yet. It's shameful really, how many stamps don't get enough love from me. Maybe if there were just a few more hours in the day.......  

 I've had this Wonderful Wreath stamp set from Catherine Pooler's 

Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes Collection for over a month and haven't had a chance to use this awesome wreath yet.  I have used other cute little stamps from the set but the wreath is the main stamp and I totally neglected this beauty.  There is just no excuse for this behavior, I must change my ways.  ;)

  For this card I used the following supplies:

Stamps: Wonderful Wreath (Stamp of Approval Lovely Notes Collection), Pretty Posies (CAS-ual Fridays).  Ink: catkin (Simon Says Stamp), field greens, forever green, soft sand, cup o' joe (Hero Arts Shadow Inks), old paper (Ranger Distress Ink), onyx black (Versafine).  Paper:  lemon chiffon, khaki (Simon Says Stamp), white 140 lb cardstock (Neenah).  Accessories:  Silly Stitched dies (Lil' Inker Designs), All Prettied Up (Mama Elephant), sequins, twine.

I just love the look of layering this stamp with three different colors of green ink on top of a circle of Old Paper distress ink that I just brushed on with water.  You can see here it really gives the wreath a nice base layer.  With a little masking I was able to add the music notes inside the wreath.

I have seen so many beautiful cards being made using this wreath.  Check out the Lovely Notes Collection over on Pinterest and you'll see all kinds of amazing things being done with this stamp.  It's so versatile, for any season.

There is still time to grab a Stamp of Approval box.  The Lovely Notes Collection is almost sold out so hurry!.   These items won't be available individually for many months and I know this wreath would make some awesome Christmas cards......just sayin'.  Just head on over --->HERE<---- for more information on how to get yours!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
