I Stamped!!!! CPS #64

I have never participated in a CPS challenge, but decided to today because I was inspired so much by the CPS #64 sketch they posted for their challenge. I have not stamped in forever, and with limited supplies (most of my stuff is in storage in Delaware) I am so pleased with the outcome of this card.

The card is intended for a fellow stamping friend I've been thinking about lately and the sentiment isn't exactly appropriate. But, with limited supplies I have and using the words in this stamp set I felt it looked the best with what I had envisioned for my layout and my message inside it tied in pretty well.

Anyway, I hope it remains true to the CPS #64 challenge - I rotated the layout, but that's the only major change, I hope! :) I did make it a card that closes by being "latched" under the flower. The heart is actually stamped on Wild Wasabi CS and then cut out and adhered with some dimensionals. Also, this card uses the recent Wild For Wasabi promotional cardstock.

Take care, let me know what you think, and be sure to click on the link above to see the CPS #64 challenge guidelines and other samples for it. They're giving away a Scor-Pal with this challenge!!!!!!!!! I would love to have one, but I must say I'm super happy just to be back in the stampin' groove! :) Have a great day!
