Last days of Sale-a-Bration!

Today and tomorrow are your last chance to take adavantage of the great freebies available with this year's Stampin'Up! Sale-a-Bration!  You can place an order in my online store, or email me so I can place the order for you.  For every $50 in product you order, you get to choose 1 Sale-a-Bration item. If you are a fan of My Paper Pumpkin, you can take advantage of the 3 month special (only $54.85)...save money and get a FREE SAB item at the same time!

The card below was made using some of my favorite SAB freebies.....Irresistibly Yours specialty DSP (each sheet has a beautiful embossed design, which make it perfect for resist techniques), and the Lotus Blossom stamp set.  This is a 3-step flower, and so easy to line up since the stamps are clear!

The Irresistibly Yours DSP is on the lower half of the card.  I stamped the lotus blossoms and stems around the piece, sponged a tiny bit of old olive in between to provide a slight contrast for the resist, then I used a tissue to wipe the ink off the leaf pattern.  (Thanks to Patty Bennett for passing along this idea--www.pattystamps.com).

The flowers were stamped using Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, and Wisteria Wonder, with Old Olive for the stems.  The greetings are stamped in Mossy Meadow.  The card stock is whisper white, wisteria wonder, and pear pizzazz.

The ribbon is our white organza ribbon.  I used a sponge dauber to color the satin running through the center with Wisteria Wonder classic ink.

Happy Stamping!
