Trying Something New

So, this is for a technique swap,  Magical Masking Tape technique.  I am not sure how "magical" it is...and I really don't know that I will do it again.  The first attempt ended up in the trash....no way I was sending it to anyone.  The second one, wish I had a picture, was not much better, but...it went out.  Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, my partner has not received so I gave it one more try.  This time, unlike the directions I did not use a shiny card stock.  I like this much better.  It has a softer look.  I kept it simple...mainly because I do not have a lot of fall type stamps or embellishments.  I even hand lettered the sentiment.  I think it goes with the rustic look.  What do you think?  Marie

Love Fall Card

Just wanted to share a card that I made for a swap. funny thing is that I did not sign up for this swap as I really wasn't interested int he technique.  But, I was asked to be an angel for a participant whose partner had dropped out, so....I have to say that I really like this card...it was hard to send it away. The technique:  Triple Time Stamp Technique.

I don't have a lot of fall stamps...none actually, so I had to improvise.  This set (Rustic Flowers by Close to My Heart) stamped in fall colors would just have to do.  I kept it simple, only adding a ribbon and ribbon slide.  

Once done, I even decided to make a matching envelope...love the We R Envelope Punch Board!

Hope your week is off to a wonderful start. Enjoy!
