June Stamp of the Month Bloghop

Welcome to the June Stamp of the Month Bloghop. If you hopped here from Terrie Dodd's blog you're in the right place.

The projects this month are created using the Wonderful Friend (D1422). You can only get this stamp set from June 1-June 30. You can even earn it for FREE.

Colors I used for this card are:
Garden Green
Colonial White
Chocolate

My project uses the necktie to create a background. I stamped the tie several times in Garden Green on the colonial white cardstock. Each stamp is the reverse of the other. I stamped the sentiment using garden green. I layered the stamped image onto the garden green card base, with Chocolate over it. On that, I layered another garden green with the sentiment in garden green on colonial white. I inked all the edges of the sentiment. Colonial White grosgrain ribbon tied in a knot adorns the chocolate piece. I finished it off with 2 Colonial White brads.
