Black Friday!

So did you go out and fight the crowds? I didn't, never have and don't think I ever will. That is just not my kind of thing-I just enjoy my sleep too much to get up THAT early! Hopefully if you did, you got some really great deals. It is Friday, so Stamp Something has another challenge for you. This week we are asking you to use Black somewhere on your creation (notice a theme here, the past two days?). I really try to stick to SUO (Stampin' Up! only) when I can for these challenges. Not because I have to, but because I want to. I just couldn't help myself to stray this week since I still want to play with all my new PTI ribbons and those yummy colors. Since black was my focus on this card, I wanted to bring in some color with the stamp images so I used the spotlight technique. This is such a non-traditional Holiday card, but I think with the satin ribbon, the elegant style of the stamp, and the touch of liquid pearls, it really works. Oh, and I also did up the inside of this card too. I loved that I could use the "frame" from the Top Note die. Nothing goes to waste! Give it a try and be sure to link your creation to the Stamp Something blog for a chance to win some fun blog candy sponsored by JessicaLynn originals! Stamping Hugs, Lisa

  8. Love the collage feel and beautiful colors of your card, Lisa! The spotlighting technique is awesome!

    I don't usually shop on this day but I needed a new winter coat~getting a leather jacket AND another coat for $88 total made battling the traffic and crowds well worth it for me.
    But I didn't get out early, no way I'd miss sleepin' in just a little. :)
