Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge # 81 - Favorite Technique

This week I challenge each of you to make a card using your favorite technique.  It could just be stamping, or embossing, or a special kind of card like a tri-fold, center step (my fav) or whatever you prefer.  


For my card this week I really couldn't think of if I had a favorite technique or not. I thought and thought and then I discovered even though it is a new technique to me I really like doing the center step cards. for my card I am using Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co's new stamp set being released next week, A Trip to Lancaster. I stamped my image and sentiment onto white cardstork with Vintage Violet ink. I chose Vintage Violet as the base of my card as well. I cut my base according to the instructions you can find on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/centerstepcard.   I found this great designer paper that I thought went wonderfully with the vintage violet and mounted that on the card as well. I finished off the card with White gingham ribbon, crystal gems and purple button gems.



For the inside of the card (my newest fun thing to do) I mounted the same designer paper along with white cardstock and stamped my image and sentiment as well. I hope you enjoyed my card. 



I hope everyone enjoys this weeks challenge! We all look forward to seeing your wonderful creations and commenting on your beautiful cards. You have until 3pm on Friday November 18th to post your card. Remember, if you use any of Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company stamps your name is entered into the drawing twice!!! Have fun and good luck.
Happy Stamping!
