Wanted


Happy Saturday everyone! I have a quick card and quick post for you today - it's pizza and movie night, and I'm anxious to get back to snuggling on the couch while hubby watches some basketball! It is definitely snuggling weather here in Wellington today!

This week's challenge at OCC comes from Kristin, she has a 1-2-3-4 challenge for us. Create your card using one patterned paper, two layers (the paper counts as a layer, the card base doesn't!), three stamps and four non-paper embellishments.



I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, and I love how it turned out! My three stamps were the woodgrain background, the sentiment and the star. My four embelishments were the twill, 2 jumbo brads and the punched out star element.

I'm playing along in Jessie's Forgotten Stamp Friday challenge - it's been a good year or so since I stamped with this set - but it can't be beat for masculine cards! Somehow Jeanie's Krafty Thursday challenge has escaped me till now - but I'm joining in this week!


The inside is my favourite part of this card. I haven't pulled out this alphabet in forever, but I still love the bold graphical style!

Head on over to OCC for some awesome eye candy, and we hope you'll play along!


Colour Combo: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Very Vanilla Stamps: Wanted, Wild West Alphabet, Woodgrain Background (SU) Paper: Cottage Garden (SU) Dies: Label 4 & Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders) Punches: Small Star, Rounded Corner (SU) Other: Twill, Jumbo Eyelets, Brad, Crop-a-dile, Piercing Tool (SU)
