Kindness Matters...

Today I spent a little time playing with paper, ink, stamps, ribbon, buttons & jute!

I found this card on SC in the morning and decided I'd like to create a few for my own use...

Thank you to Lisa Young for the inspiration!

I didn't have exactly everything she used....so I substituted a thing or two...

...and I left off the mini library clips....

I have them....

I just didn't want to use them.

Here's how my set of 6 turned out...

I didn't have the SU dotty background stamp so....

I stamped the En Francais and French Script backgrounds first and then ran the card fronts through the Cuttlebug using the Polka Dots CB embossing folder...

THEN I used my Crumb Cake ink pad and ran it over the raised dots to hit the tops with a brush of ink!

So....here's what else I used....

SU Inks - Crumb Cake

- Island Indigo

SU CS - Crumb Cake

- Island Indigo

- Naturals Ivory

SU Stamp sets - Kindness Matters [114/232]

LOVE this set!

- En Francais [115/232]

- French Script [already counted]

Jute, Buttons and SU Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon.

I must say that the new set of SU IN COLORs are FABULOUS!!!!

I am having a hard time picking a fave....

Since I was working with the Island Indigo today....

Its my fave today!!!

And.... the ruffled ribbon....

LOVE IT!!!!

I SO want it in MORE colours!!!

It's very easy to work with and makes thing look sooooo good!
