F4A68 - Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor

FRIENDSHIP CARD

Hello Everyone Happy Friday!



Today's card is for Split Coast Stampers Free For All challenge. With this card I chose to use a stamp set that I have had since 2005 but have never once used. The stamp set is Express Yourself from Stampin Up. I chose a cocoa colored cardstock for my base and a tan colored for layering. I layered the tan colored cardstock on to the cocoa and then I background stamped coffee beans with SU Breavo Burgundy ink pad from the set. Then I stamped my other images onto white cardstock also with SU Bravo Burgundy in pad and mounted them on red and the cocoa cardstock. I mounted those to the base of the card and then I added some red raffia ribbon to the card. As I was looking at the card I thought there was something missing so I added some real coffee beans. My card smells amazing.  Below are the details for the challenge.

F4A68 – Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor … – 06/10/11

… your neglected stamp sets. You know which ones I mean … the ones you just HAD to have as SOON as you saw them. And THEN … those poor stamps got filed away … only to sit in the Archive of Unused Stamps.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a creation using one of your had-to-have-but-NEVER-used stamp sets. Something that has never seen ink (and I KNOW you ALL have some of these!! And stamp sets you just got LAST WEEK don't count!! These have to be sadly-neglected stamps!).

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
