Happy Saturday blog hoppers! How is your weekend going so far? I stamped a couple hours this afternoon and came up with this card which my inspiration was a pocket folder that I purchased for .99 cents! Yes, can you believe buying something at OfficeMax for that price...LOL!I was running errands on Wednesday and came across the folder and instantly a few ideas came to me on creating a card. Has that ever happened to you! :) This is pretty much a SU! card except the boarder punch. I had so much fun making it! The DP is also SU! which is retired I think.
The SU! stamps used are Finest Flourished, Baroque Motifs and Frames with a Flourish. All images are embossed. First layer was SU! Metallic Silver, 2nd layer SU! Detail Black, and 3rd layer SU! Real Red. Some of these powders are pretty old, but still work! :)This look is different for me, and not sure what to call it? I used my Modern Label Punch for the sentiment embossed in Silver. Click on the photo's for a closer look... IRL the card looks nicer!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day. I plan to do more stamping yet this evening and my hubby is bow hunting right now. Maybe make some popcorn and have a soda... :) Endless possibilities... doesn't take much to make me happy!
SMILES... Michelle :)

Hi Michelle! I think your card looks super wonderful on screen! What a great take on your inspiration piece. That's the best way to go about it... find things that kick the mojo into high gear. I love all those colors and the mix of stamps you used.

WOW Michelle - this is truly inspired!!! I love your version of this folder! It's hard when we go shopping NOT to look at things differently sometimes - but with results like this it's well worth the effort!
