Life has been a circus lately! We had so much fun in Virginia that I really didn’t have any time to blog at all. So I decided to just enjoy the time off…good thing I did because on our way home we got stranded in Maryland for three days while my car was fixed, we came home to cat urine on my daughter’s bed(bought her a new one), the cat lost part of his tail (don’t know what happened with that?), the washing machine broke (I fixed it), and with all the stress I had a stiff neck for the past few days!!! Now that things are getting back to normal I am hoping to get back into blogging every day this month…

So, for my first blog post this month I would like to share with you  a make-n-take from my “New Catalog Open House” on the 1st, which was supposed to be posted here before I went on vacation. This card was inspired by a card created by Dorothy Cates.

The card base is Basic Black, layered with Rich Razzleberry, and black again. Each layer is ¼” shorter than the one below. The main whisper white layer is stamped randomly using Staz On Ink (Staz On prevents bleeding when coloring with markers). The small circles are colored in using the NEW Rich Razzleberry Marker.

Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon was tied around the Whisper White layer. The greeting was stamped with Rich Razzlebery ink on whisper White Card stock and punched out with the Small Oval Punch, and layered over a Basic Black Large Oval. This was adhered to the finished card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

That’s it! This is a very quick and easy card and a very versatile stamp set…I can’t wait to show you the other make-n-take!
