PIP Challenge 2533

 Another great challenge over at PIP Challenges

with our lovely sponsor

Varada Sharma

VS has such beautiful images and stamps! 

It's awesome that she is kind enough to sponsor 

PIP Challenges! Please be sure to visit her site

or find her actual stamps at RubberStamps.com!!

 Here's my card for this week

using "Easy Layering Florals 1" (sentiment)

and "Fall Celebrations"

I sure had a lot of anniversaries in the 

summer and this is a biggie for a couple

of friends, Nancy and Mark, and we get to 

celebrate with them next weekend. In fact,

Mark's birthday is on MY anniversary, 

Aug. 19 (53 years). Busy month! 

For this card I used some images I had

already stamped and cut out from

Varada. I colored the images with my

Copics to coordinate along side of the 

background paper. The sentiment was

heat embossed in black on vellum and

attached with some mini black brads.

I used pop dots to raise up the main

leaf for dimension. The "5, 0" were 

die cuts and added to the front. 

For the inside I used a couple of scrap

strips from the front and added them

and an extra leaf to the inside. The 

sentiment was from a random set on

hand. I like how it turned out and 

with a couple of gift cards added to 

the inside it should be a hit! 

Be sure to visit Varada's Etsy shop
