Like Day & Night...

...is what these cards are. I wanted to use my new Grow With Love Simply Single stamp, and I wanted it to be really soft and muted. I ended up using the most recent additions to the Copic marker colors (If you're having a hard time finding them, my friends over at Eclectic Paperie may still have some--well...at least they did last I checked), and a piece of patterned paper from my 6 x 6 Aerial (Memory Box) paper. The gorgeous ribbon is from Sharon's Stamp Simply Store. (After I cut the ends of the ribbon, it realized it resembled a butterfly).

This card is made with a tag I removed from a shirt I bought my DH recently. I thought the tag was way too pretty to throw away...so I made it into a card. The birthday sentiment and ribbon/grommet treatment hide the original writing on the tag. I didn't alter the tag in any other way...I just built around it. The sentiment is from Birthday Basics (PTI), and the little fragment of damask I stamped for the Rain Dot is from an image in the Friends 24-7 set (SU).

Thanks so much for visiting today!!
