Market Street Stamps Paint the Town Challenge

For my Birthday/Blogaversary Giveaway click here.



I really love the color palatte for this month's Market Street Stamps challenge, so I pulled this card together to play along.

I used one of the retired Mayberry papers for that yellow dot base and sponged the edges with chocolate ink. The green is a piece of topiary cardstock that is lightly sanded. Then I scored every 3/8" and lightly sanded the scored lines. I also sponged the edges of that piece.

Wooden chipboard pieces are so in right now, but they can be hard to find in the major stores and pricey too. This is my cheap version. The shape is cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. Then I sprayed some Dark Calico Mister Huey's onto a scrap surface, dipped a sponge in it, and quickly swiped it over the frame, repeating until I got the coverage I wanted.



The sentiment is one of my favorite from MSS's 'Faith in You' set, and it totally speaks to me since I'm always biting off more than I can chew, or at least chew comfortably.

The ribbon is from Michael's, and I used a CTMH Kraft button along with some May Arts twine as well as some Opaque Adhesives to finish the card off.

Hope that you had a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
