Mixing some old and some new

The current contest at the Hero Arts website is to be inspired by something at Hero Arts. com and make a card reflecting that inspiration, which includes at least 1 stamp from either of their 2 newest catalogs.  Here is my entry:


supplies: ivory, pink, and cream cardstock, Tweed Pattern, Latte chalk ink, Delicate Flowers, Bubble Gum mid-tone ink, scallop punch, Remember, versafine onyx black, VersaMark, white embossing powder, and my old stamp Flourish Flower, from 2007, Prismacolor pencils, green stitched grosgrain ribbon

And HERE's the card by Sally Traidman that inspired me.

Thanks for visiting me today - hope you're off to a GREAT Labor Day weekend!

    I love that card from Sally and your take is so pretty, Lin! Wonderful combination of stamps, and of course I love the pink and green - looks fab with the kraft!

    I find this challenge way too complicated, but you nailed it! Love the delicate design and it is a great take on Sally's card.
