Hi Everyone, the clouds have moved in and it is a little dreary here today.  How are you enjoying the new catty so far?  Stampin' Up has done it again.  Another great year. I have a soft place in my heart for old looking ribbons, papers and you know those feminine kind of frilly looking things.  I'm so happy to show you  my card today.  I think it is expressing just those feelings.  If you haven't had a chance to really look at some of our new designer papers you have been missing out.  We have some great color combos and graphic designs this year.  The one I used today is called Elegant Soiree' #117163.  It has one of our past favorites in it Baja Breeze combined with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  So very soft  and feminine looking.  I coupled my DP with a piece of Baja Breeze Cardstock #105120.  My stamp set is called Morning Cup #120489.  TIP:  What makes or breaks a card is the amount of attention you give to the details.  It's the little things that count.  Boy I've got a lot here.  You may not be able to see it my first layer is a tag cut from our Two Tags #115954 die cut using the Big Shot #113439.  Boy that's a cool tool that I use every day.  Next I punched a Scallop Circle from our new Scallop Circle Punch #118874 and added a 2" circle on top of that.  I chose the tea pot for my image and I colored it in with ink and a blender pen #102845.  My ribbons are the star of the show.  I used a little of our new ribbon called Victoria 5/8" and added a little pizzazz with the 1/4" Choc Chip (ret).  Our new Early Expresso 1/4" #119961 will work just fine.  Added a random button.  But if you look closely. underneath I have also added a piece of DP and mak\de it look like a ticket.  I cut approx a 1" x 1.25" piece of Elegant Soiree'' and used our Ticket Corner Punch #119867.  Well there you have it my version of something you would find in the olden days.  I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks for stopping by today, I will be gathering my supplies and getting ready for Stamp Club tomorrow.  What fun!!!!!!!!  Have a wonderful day.  Toodles
