Because of You

G'day and welcome to my stop on the {Ippity} Hop today!

I have a couple of cards to share today. The first is for this week's Play Date Cafe challenge...


...I stamped the swirls from the set Love in Return on white cardstock and embossed them in clear before sponging the ink over the top. Then I just wiped the ink off the embossed swirls to reveal them.


My second card is for the Ippity challenges this month and uses both the sketch and colour combo...and of course the cute little birds from Quotes a'la Happy!



You can purchase all the {Ippity} stamp sets from me HERE and you won't pay any shipping within the US!

Don't forget to visit the {Ippity} Blog for the full list of today's Blog Hop participants and all their wonderful {Ippity} creations...and to see what this week's challenge is!

Supplies:- Love in Return, Quotes a'la Happy and Now & Always by Ippity, PTI white cardstock, SU coloured cardstock, SU DSP, SU ink, Versamark ink, Clear embossing powder, Paper flowers, SU linen thread, Button, Scallop border punch, and SU pearls.

    I chose to use the same bird stamp as you for this challenge - it;s such a versatile stamp. Gorgeous card!

    Both cards are sweet, Christy. I like your emboss resist on card #1, it looks so soft and cloud-like. Thanks for joining us at THe Play Date CAfe!
