{2.25.2011} just because

Hi!

Thanks for joining me for another Friends with Flair. All the participants can be found HERE. I always love seeing what these fabulous girls do with Unity and {ippity} stamps.

My inspiration for this card came from the Create: Blog! This week the card challenge was to use decorative tape. I haven’t played with this fun embellishment yet. It may be my first time but it won’t be my last. LOVE it! It seems to be extremely popular and it is also a challenge at the Moxie Fab World in the Get Daring with Decorative Tap Challenge.

For this JUST BECAUSE card I used the Sing a New Song and How You Doin’? {ippity} stamps and the Giving it all Meaning Unity stamp.

I stamped the bird on some textured Bazzill paper and then distressed it with some ink. I added some shading with Prismacolor pencils. Funny thing, I forgot it was on textured paper. As I added the shading the texture popped out! I loved the effect the textured paper had on the colored pencils. Kinda neat. hehe

Have a wonderful weekend.

stamps: Sing a New Song, How You Doin’? {ippity}, Giving it all Meaning {Unity}
other: tape, pearls {Kaisercraft}, bloomer {Webster’s Pages}, Prismacolor pencils
tools: scallop border punch {Fiskars}, Corner Chomper, sewing machine
