The Match Game

I'm on a quest to use my non Stampin Up patterned papers and match them to my vast collection of Stampin Up inks, markers, crayons, chalks, ribbons, cardstock, etc. -- you get the picture! In this card, the background papers are from Memory Box's Sugar collection, which I purchased from Ellen Hutson. These 6 x 6 double sided papers are a great bargain and I love every one of Memory Box's collection. I colored in the flowers from SU's Sassy Stems with every pink marker and watercolor crayon that SU makes! I added some So Saffron around the edge and inside the vase, along with a few shades of green crayons for the stems. Yellow Amuse twinkles dot the center of the flowers. Other supplies used: words from a cute Wordsworth set, SU Old Olive Brads and cardstock and SU's Pretty in Pink for a base. Two square scallop punches, SU's Word Window punch, watercolor paper and brush, water, Mono Multi glue, and Memories Black ink. My Japanese screw punch punched right through 4 layers of paper -- including the watercolor paper. Love that thing!! I spent a lot of time fiddling with this card -- ribbon, ric rac, other punches for the words, other words, etc. all were added and removed, until I finally looked up and saw that hours had gone by. Sometimes, you just have to stop.
