I love this set. You can make so many different looks with it and it's super easy to work with! To get this one, I simply colored onto the stamp with a Real Red and Basic Gray marker and stamped repeatedly on a Very Vanilla square, which I then layered onto Basic Black atop a standard card base of Real Red (the 3/16" corner punch made the nice rounded corners). The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black craft ink - I like the boldness of the craft ink.
The thing that really makes it pop, of course, is the amazing 1 1/4" Basic Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I simplified the bow by just folding the ribbon into a bow shape and tying it with linen thread, then slipping a Real Red Big Designer Button (Holiday Mini catalog) over the ends and tying a bow on top of the button.
Thanks to fellow demo Mary Brown, whose design inspired mine. Kathy

I have a list of "1001 Unpursued Careers" and only one lifetime! Currently I demo for Stampin' Up! and teach classes in paper arts here at the studio, chauffer a teenaged daughter, write poetry, care for my Mother (age 89), mix 29 flavors of scones, long to travel and practice the Argentine tango!

Though not new to paper crafting, Monique recently jumped in with both feet by becoming a Stampin’ Up demonstrator and joining Idyllwilde Design Team with two other great women. She absolutely loves it! Outside of her rubber stamp addiction, she works at a consulting engineer firm, indulges in Mexican food way too often, and enjoys spoiling her two four-legged children of the feline persuasion.
