Paper and Ink

It seems lately that I have turned into a paper and ink girl. My ribbons and buttons and jewels are beginning to feel a little neglected, but I just can't seem to help myself. In addition to allowing the fabulous Kitchen Sink images to have center stage is the bonus of saving the extra 20¢ postage!

With the weather finally warming up around here and the air conditioner back in high gear, I felt drawn to create a little seaside fantasy. I hope you enjoy today's designs.  (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).

10 Minute Card


Papers: Georgia Pacific White, SU Daffodil Delight and Garden Green

1 Memento Bamboo Leaves
Trunks - 1 SU Soft Suede, 2 Memento Espresso Truffle

Now I cannot tell a lie, today my second card took much more than the extra 10 minutes I normally use on Kitchen Sink Mondays. With all the sponging, masking, and cutting, I finished this card in 40 minutes. I hope you can forgive me this once!
