Back in the Card Room Again!

Today my goal was to clean up my card area so that I could make a card for the Sunday Stamps SSC156 Tall and Skinny Challenge

Once I cleaned up the area, this is what happened ...

I think Tini missed me while I was gone, but only because I had stuff piled on her blanket! 

The end result of my labor was this...

All product is Stampin' Up with the exception of the DSP. My card base is Rich Razzleberry and the measurement is 6 x 6 3/4, scored and folded at 3 3/8. The DSP was given to me by a friend and it measures  5 7/8 by 3 1/4. 

I stamped the rose and leaves on Shimmery White paper in Tuxedo Black using stamps from Rose Wonder. I "watercolored" the rose with Rich Razzleberry and Dapper Denim using my blender pen. The leaves were done the same way with Old Olive. Then I fussy cut them out. The sentiment is from Thoughts and Prayers, stamped in Fresh Fig, edged in Lemon Lime Twist.

The inside...

was stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder using the sentiment from the retired Love & Sympathy stamp set.

It's good to be back home with our kitty and son. I'm also happy not to be limited to a Paper Pumpkin kit!

Thanks for looking!
