close up of sentiment
Hi everyone! This is Mary, dropping in with a quick card share. It's a very simple card, but rather striking in person.

The card base is made from a piece of patterned paper from the new Story Teller collection from Crate Paper (it is an orange wood grain pattern called Yesterday).
I took the new Studio Calico Huey's Masks (the chevron mask) and misted over the patterned paper using Mister Huey's in Overdue (red) and Calico Shine (clear sparkle). After it dried, I adhered a piece of yellow ribbon (something I no longer have the packaging to) and a piece of red baker's twine to the front of the card, about an inch from the bottom.
I stamped the medal stamp with Versamark watermark ink and heat embossed the image with Mustard Zing! embossing powder from American Crafts. The medal stamp (and greeting) are from an older Studio Calico/Hero Arts set called You Are the Best. After the embossing cooled, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the image and then adhered it to the card using foam dots.
The great thing about a card like this is that you can send it to someone as is for a simple card, or dress it up as much as you like since there is plenty of space for other embellishment. 


Hope you enjoyed the card. 


Remember to look for a fun challenge coming later this week here on the blog. There will be a prize for one lucky participant.

...and as always, happy creating!
