For my card tonight, I tried to keep it kinda simple....because I TRULY love this set. I love when they put WTG in a circle, it's just awesome!! Anywho, she was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then both colored with Copics, and paper pieced. I used some October Afternoon Fly A Kite paper, which I paired with More Mustard(SU), Jellybean Green, and Hot Fudge. My ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel. Tonight is a new Ribbon Carousel Crew challenge, and you will PROBABLY see this card over there, lol. This week's challenge was ANYTHING goes...which made it super easy for me! The Walnut Seam Binding was purchased at the Ribbon Carousel store, and is just YUMMY and gorgeous!!

My card is also for one of today's AWESOME Dare To Get Dirty challenges, being hosted by Iwona(Chupa)....not going to tell you what, when, where or why the challenge is/am/ are, but I will tell you where to look!! Fan club members can only see this forum, so if you aren't one, become one!! SCS is one of the GREATEST stamping sites in the WORLD, and the small fee they charge to be a member is well worth it!


For the inside of my card, I used a little more paper, and another sentiment from the set. It's so pretty, I couldn't NOT use it. Again, keeping it simple....but hey, sometimes less is more.

Well, that is it for me for today! Be sure to head to Kim's for a list of designers participating in today's teasers. Thanks for stopping by!

For my card tonight, I started by cutting out my tag with GP White cardstock. I then cut out some paper from the My Mind's Eye Gertie pack. I added the DP to the tag, some ruffled ribbon, and some buttons from both PTI and MFT. I used linen thread in the buttons. For my saying, I stamped it with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I used Walnut Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel for the tag tie. For my border on the base of the card, I used the Faux Crochet Border Die-namics, and some more yummy paper. The brads I used are from Michael's. The cardstock colors I used on this are Hot Fudge, Lemon Drop, and Tempting Turquoise(SU).


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another sentiment from the Tag You're It set. I was THRILLED to get to use this set on a card, it just shows how versatile it can be!
