~ Happy Birthday, There She Goes! ~
August 24th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning, friends!
It was so wonderful to get up this morning and stamp before the boys woke up. I grabbed my cup of coffee and headed to the studio before my eyes were fully opened. I was on a mission, though. Not only did I want to do the Featured Stamper challenge from yesterday (TSG’s own Joanne ~ JoJot), but I wanted to make it a double challenge and incorporate Jessica’s TSG challenge for this week…. to make a birthday card. Fitting, I think, since There She Goes is about to celebrate it’s FIRST birthday!!
I chose THIS card of Joanne’s to case. I changed up colors and images. I nixed the big brads and added a few pearls. I also added a sentiment and a photo corner.
Ever since meeting up with Sherry (BadSherry) at the Rubber Stamp show, I have been so into aging things. Afterall, she showed me the proper technique! I colored my images and then dirtied them up a bit to make them ”dusty roses”.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: Roses from There She Goes‘ Roses and Chocolate; Sentiment circle from Year Round Sentiments
Colors: Soft Suede, Regal Rose, GP White, dp by Paper Studio
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Soft Suede, copics, white gel pen
Accessories: cream 1/2 pearls, ribbon (dirtied with soft suede ink), circle punch, Fiskars border punch, script embossing folder, photo corner, dimensionals, blending sponge, MS royal butterfly punch.

Holly cats Holly, this card is gorgeous!!! I absolutely love how you were able to combine the two sets the way you did. I haven’t used either of these sets in quite awhile and I think that you may just have inspired me to ink them up again 🙂 LOVE IT!!
