A Blank Space

Happy Saturday to all of you. I'm just stopping by really quick this morning to post a card I was up way too late making last night..haha. It was one of those moments when you get an idea and you just have to do it now.  

I knew I wanted to leave a blank space for my sentiment. I started from the top and did my first couple of rows with my Damask stamp. I then took a piece of paper and layed it over the bottom section of the card. I stamped the third row then turned the card over and did the same thing. The trick is to remember after you turn the card over...you also have to turn your stamp. Love how it turned out. I think I'll be doing this some more. And check out that beautiful ribbon. I was at our local $1.00 store the other day and found a bunch of this ribbon in some great colors. Yes...$1.00 for 6 yards. So needless to say I bought a few rolls.


Thanks for taking the time to stop by today and have a great day.
