Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #504 - Any Occasion

 Any Occasion is the theme of Challenge #504 on the Addicted to Stamps & More Blog.  I have to admit that my card is a complete CASE of Kristina Werner's sweet, romantic wedding card from her blog at the end of August.  I have a wedding coming up for a niece and this was the perfect card, so I bought the Long Line Roses stamp to replicate Kristina's card. I picked up the stencil, too.  A video from Kristina's You Tube channel explains how to make this 5x7 card.  The gold embossing and narrow gold foil frame make it such an elegant card. I admire Kristina's work and her creativity, so it was a joy to watch her video and give this a try for myself.

I didn't stop with the wedding card and have created three other cards with the set- some are still "in process".  I finished an A2 size card using VersaMark ink and gold sparkle embossing powder for the card below.  The same general layout resulted in a quick and easy Christmas card - which extends the use of the stamp! 

I can see using this set for a variety of occasions!  I'm thinking about buying the dies!  Hope you make time to link up a card in the challenge gallery.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

In kindness, Cathy
