It's a big one!

I made this card for my mom's birthday. We threw a surprise birthday party for her this weekend. It went great. I can't believe all of us managed to keep it a secret so long. I wanted to make her a big card that had room for everyone to sign so this is a whole sheet of cardstock folded in half (5.5X8.5). It took me forever to figure out how to fill up so much space. I mean this is twice what I'm used to working with. I know I just posted a card very similar to this recently, but I knew my mom would love the faux silk and I wanted to use the pink ribbon so I went with the same colors too.

Stamp Something Challenge 3

Good morning! Well today is Friday which means another great Stamp Something Challenge! This weeks theme is "Faux Somethings". So anything faux goes. Theres faux silk, leather, metal, stitching, shaving cream, linen, the list goes on. Go check out the Resources section of SCS and you'll find tutorials. I decided to finally give the Faux Silk technique a try and I'm so glad I did! I love the look of it, and I can't believe how easy it was!

I'm really happy with how this card came out. The main panel and the scallop all have glue dots under them since the ribbon is so puffy.
