Friday Focus using solid image stamps
The ever fabulous Leslie challenged us to make a card using solid image stamps this week for the Flourishes Friday Focus. When using solid image stamps or silhouettes, you pick your image, color of ink, then start stamping, its as simple as that. I believe that is why so many people are attracted to that style of stamp, they are easy to use.
For my card, I stamped the poppy image from Summer Botanicals in red ink, then took the dragonfly image from the Summer Blossoms set and stamped it in black ink, onto some Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl designer paper. Before adhering my designer paper onto the black card stock, using a distressing tool I distressed the edges of the paper. To take the card to the next level, I used some lovely red/cream gingham ribbon and attached a tag and button to the center of the bow.
"thank you"

On a side note, so very sad that Michael Jackson died yesterday.
Everyone who knows me well, knows that these two songs are my favorite songs of all time. I was born in the 70's and MJ had an influence on my life, along with Madonna, The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Cindy Lauper just to name a few. I was just a little girl when the Off the Wall album came out, and I got it on a 45 record, then a few years later when I finally got a pink boom box for Christmas, the Off the Wall tape was in my stocking, it was my first tape I ever owned.
Watch the videos you will have to dance and a smile will appear on your face!!

I'm right there w/ you...so sad MJ passed away. I have always loved his music and was fascinated to watch him dance. I am sorry that his life was so surrounded by turmoil and suspicion. A sad day indeed.
