Throwback Thursday!

Hello Stampers! I have another Throwback Thursday creation to share with you.  I'm featuring retired Stampin' Up! sets that I own in my Throwback Thursday posts. Today I'm featuring the stamp set called "Express Yourself" and I'm so happy that I kept this stamp set! I also can't wait to pair it with the stamp set "Perfect Blend", the sentiments will work great with the coffee cup!


Here is what I created:




I came across a new blog challenge, The Card Concept and their color combination inspired me. The Stampin' Up! colors I used are: Crumb Cake (Kraft), Blushing Bride (Pink), Very Vanilla (Vanilla) and Early Espresso (Espresso).  I love pairing Blushing Bride with Early Espresso, very soft colors.
I used the Shabby Chic style for my card. It's a great blog challenge and I look forward to playing along with them again. Trying out different stamping styles is a great way for me to get out of my comfort zone when creating.


I also used the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday blog challenge for my card, gotta love those banners! 


Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time my friends!

  8. Wow! Fabulous use of the sketch colors! A beautiful shabby chic creation with a stunning design and perfectly balanced card elements. Totally love the lace and the inked edges! And you are so right...this color combo absolutely screams for a coffee themed card... so I am now off to make another fresh steaming hot latte....
