Pink Persimmon and Copics and Store Credit


Pink Persimmon and Lily Bee papers go very well together, I also love PP stamps with Jenni Bowlin. Both papers have the vintage feel that pairs perfectly with Pink Persimmon. Coincidentally this paper from Lily Bee is called Vintage Poppy. The ribbon here is actually a piece of fabric that I frayed a little and stitched onto the card. I used the very cute Singing Birds clear stamp set and colored in with Copic markers. Kind of hard to see, but I covered the entire image with crystal glitter for a little sparkle.

Umm, I took all my unused scrappy stuff (tons of Close to My Heart from years ago when I sold it) to a scrapbook store's garage sale ( I priced it all super extra low-I didn't want anything coming home with me!) and I made about $300 in store credit!!! I can get a Slice now! Should I? Hmm, I need to put a list together of my all my needs! Funny thing, with all that stuff gone, I really can't say that I have any more storage space. My husband is not excited about this. He dreads the store credit....just means more stuff is coming back into our tiny house!

I don't really know about the slice but I sure do like my silhouette and if the store can get it for you your credit is just enough and you could get some cool vinyl or a rhinestone kit.
Just a thought.

Well you know the saying Out with the Old, In with the New.

Wonderful! I love the card! I have some stuff to put into a scrap garage sale also! I hope I price mine low enough to make $300!

I love that you only used a portion of that label stamp, I'm going to try that one.
