"Anything Goes" Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #185

Hello you gorgeous group you!


 How have you all been this past week? We went to a craft fair, and it was a blast. I purchased some beautiful re-purposed silverware jewelry, all real silver too :) This week's challenge at the Die Cuttin' Divas  is "Anything Goes". It's my favorite kind of challenge. This project is one I love. It's the only one I made specifically to send to someone. She's all the way in England. I thought something country would be a nice representation of where I'm from.  This card is mostly the "I Heart Summer" paper collection, but there's some awesome ribbon, and a punch from Martha Stewart also. I usually use more die cuts, but I really wanted to share this project.

This is a stamp I got on clearance at, you guessed it, Hobby Lobby. I also used Spectrun Noirs to color it. 

See, there really is a border back there. There's also some other shiny silver brads thrown in. I love the contrast.

This was fun to make. Coloring definitely takes me out of my comfort zone, but the more I do it, the more I love it. I can't wait to see what you all make for this challenge. I love the variety. I'll see you all at the Die Cuttin' Divas. Thanks for reading, let me know if you have any comments or questions, and feel free to follow be at Bloglovin.
