Almost Done!

Here is a project that I have been working on for my neighbor. She sells Avon and is doing a huge open house party and wanted some cute invitations. I had been wanting the "Say Charge" stamp set from My Favorite Things and this was my excuse the finally get it! She wanted the colors to be red, black and white. So, I used Basic Black as the card base and cuttlebugged D'Vine Swirls on Real Red. I stamped the image on Whisper White and did lots of coloring! So much that I got a blister on my finger! I wanted to use my watercolor pencils and Gamsol to color in the ladies, but I only have the SU! color pencils and didn't have the colors that I wanted to use, so I used my tried and true blender pens. I used Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Creamy Caramel, Blush Blossom and used Real Red marker for the dots and Basic Black marker for the shoes. I ended up printing the saying off my computer because the saying from the set didn't fit on the word window punch I was using. I completed the card with black gingham ribbon.

To put the open house information inside the card, I printed it on my computer and then used the slit punch to hold it in place (saving on adhesive!), until my darn punch broke! I couldn't believe it. I was only in about 5 cards of 40! Needless to say, I'll be sending it back to get a replacement....I love that punch! I hope she likes them as much as I do! TFL.
