STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge #12

It's that time again for the monthly challenge over at STAMPlorations.  This month is stamps and embossing.  Such potential!

I really like the background embossing in white and sponging over it I have been seeing lately in blogland. [otherwise known as Emboss Resist] I used the [perfect for this] STAMPlorations set, Art Deco Border Builders and Trendy Feathers.

This card is for my sister who is going to be having some surgery next week -- just a small card to let her know I'm thinking about her~

Now, remember, you have all month to join in this challenge over at the STAMPlorations Blog.  STAMPlorations stamps are not required, but we would love to see them if you do have any!

Speaking of new stuff - have you read about the STAMPlorations Bi-Monthly Club? It really is an amazing offer.  Discounts off the already low priced stamps.  How awesome is that!  I personally can vouch that these stamps and images are really fun to create with. :)


Thanks for stopping by~

Great card, Vicki!! Love how the colors blend so well in the background -- my sponging/inking rarely look as perfect as yours! Hope your sister's surgery goes smoothly!

A beautiful card, Vicki, not only for the lovely embossing, stamping and sponging, but for the thoughtfulness you've infused it with! Hope your sister's surgery goes well; she'll adore the card you made for her, as do I.
