Tuesday Morning Sketches #50

Good Morning!  I feel like I've fallen off the face of the blogland earth!  I've really missed our daily visits but things aren't going to be much different until after we get moved and settled in our new home.  The children and I have very mixed feelings about this move but we are trying to stay positive and look at it as a new adventure.

I have a really fun challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this week is a Judged Challenge, so there is some extra added fun.  This week we're making step ladder cards.  Head on over to my challenge blog for tutorials and plenty of inspiration from the design team.  But first, here's my card.

I followed the tutorial by Dawn of Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.  I modified it a little.  In her video she adds 3/4" side panels only - I like the whole card to be dressed, so I cut a piece of fun paper to 4" x 5 1/4" and then on the back side I drew lines to create the 3/4" side panels and 1" bottom panel and then cut out the center part.  Fits great!  I also found that if I cut the center panel (focal point) 1/16" smaller then her directions, the card moves a little easier.

Supplies:
Card Stock:  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Black, Pretty In Pink
Paper:  Me & My Big Ideas
Digi Stamps:  Soft Pencil
Stamps & Ink:  Wishing You (TAC), Memento Tuxedo Black
Embellishments:  Ribbon (Me & My Big Ideas)

Now head on over to Tuesday Morning Sketches and thank you so much for stopping by!
