As you all know November is the time to gear up for Christmas shopping. So many sales and crowds, well stick with us we have some great deals for your Holiday Shopping needs.
My project today features Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company's new set called Big City and a last minute Christmas gift. Since we all need something to write on when taking a message while talking on the phone, I took a blank message cube, and stamped the skyscrapers in memento tuxedo black all the way around it before tying a ribbon in a knot to hold it together.
Now for the card, I made my own background by stamping the text repeatedly in memento black onto white card stock before layering onto a black card. Then I took the same skyscrapers and stamped those in memento black, colored with a deco yellow prismacolor marker before stippling grey clouds over my skyline. Once that was done, I stamped the birds from Scenic Selections and the "welcome" saying from Big City before layering and adding silver brads. The only other embellishment I added was some black/white sheer organdy ribbon tied into a knot at the top.
Here's a close up of the set together.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
