Thoughts of You! H{ippity} Hop Monday!


This card is for today's H{ippity} Hop Monday! I bought me some Unity Ippity stamps. This set is called Regal Greetings. I used one of the images and one of the sentiments to stamp my background paper(DP by ME)! The DP by ME is also today's SCS Technique Challenge TLC264)! I know how to do this technique! Thanks, Holly!

For my dp, I started with a 4.5 square of ivory cardstock.  I stamped sort of straight, but not too focused on precision one of the smaller medallions in the Regal Greetings set.  I used dark chocolate ink and stamped off to give me this lighter shade of brown.  I sponged the edges a bit using Ranger antique linen and vintage photo.   I used the Thoughts of You sentiment and stamped at an angle  using Pretty in Pink.  I repeated this step alittle more off center from the pink with the dark chocolate.  I layered an EK Success border punch and added the sentiment as the focal point along with my chunky bow with button accenting.  I played around with covering up some of the image with something else, but decided I liked this simple look!

Thanks so much for hopping by!  As always, your comments are greatly appreciated!
