August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog.  So nice of you to stop by.  If you have come from Vicki's blog, you are on the right path.  Along with a fantastic new Fall/Winter Catalog from Close To My Heart, we have six new Stamp of the Month stamp sets.  The first is Baroque Borders (S1208).  Don't you just love this?  Beautiful images that work great for pages or cards.

 My first example is a standard sized card using our New Cashmere Ink.  I also used Twilight Ink to lightly stamp the Twilight piece of card stock.  I used Colonial White, Desert Sand and Twilight card stock.  The buttons are from the New Antiqued Gold Mini-Medley Accents with a little bit of Waxy Flax in the centers.

 This card is a 5x5.  I used:

Outdoor Denim, Desert Sand and Colonial White CS

(the CW card stock is inked with Desert Sand)

Outdoor Denim and Desert Sand Ink

Antiqued Gold Brads

D1474 Card Chatter Birthday

Now hop over to Judy Faye's blog to see her wonderful artwork.  Hope you came back here again to see me sometime.
