Backyard Dwellers BBQ Invitation - CC207/CPS104

I only wish the weather could stay how it has been here in AZ this past week, year round. It has been gorgeous, breezy, warm -- perfect weather for a Backyard BBQ. As I took the kids to the park the other night, it smelled SO good outside as we walked there -- someone had fired up the grill and was making something delicious. I think that is what inspired this idea. I created an invitation to send to a friend to invite them over to enjoy some fun time, relaxation and a barbecue!

I used the layout this week from Card Positioning Systems (CPS104) and the colors were from the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. I wanted to keep it simple enough to duplicate.

Stamps: Backyard Dwellers (Hanna Stamps), Tiny Talk (SU!) Paper: Summer Sun (SU!), Old Olive (SU!), Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah) Ink: Old Olive Classic, Summer Sun Classic, Pumpkin Pie Classic (SU!) Accessories: Scalloped and plain circle nestabilities, cuttlebug machine, dimensional dots (SU!), 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 circle punches (SU!), Large corner rounder (EK Success), paper piercing tool, pumpkin pie grosgrain (SU!), clear dew drops (The Robins Nest), sewing machine, white thread.

What a sweet card. Love the stitching and the 2 strips of ribbon. I think I should try some stitching in a project. I've never done that.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog Amanda, I truly appreciate it!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
