Cards from my January Class

 My answer to the always difficult "Man card"! In fact, I sent this to my FIL for his birthday this month! The stamp set "Serene Silhouettes" is stamped on Very Vanilla paper using Early Espresso Classic Ink, then layered on a piece of Early Espresso. A Crumb cake background was embossed using the "Argyle" embossing folder. I used Cherry Cobbler embossing powder for the greeting and accented the card with Cherry Cobbler ribbon and butterflies cut with the "Beautiful Wings" embosslit! Accents of mini pearls finished off the card!


Next, we used the "Swallowtail" stamp from the Spring mini catalog. The stamp was embossed in white on Basic Black paper, with layers of Whisper White, and Mellon Mambo on a base layer of Basic Gray. A "flag" of Melon Mambo was added to carry the greeting. (Wonderful Words is a retired set I can't give up!)
