Hi-ya! I'm a little late tonight with my post but it's here now! I was out enjoying the AWESOME weather we had today and into this evening. I'm talking 70's today and 50's tonight. Beautiful weather and I had to take advantage of it and go for a nice long walk!
Today we are introducing another new stamp and this one is AWESOME because it shows off one of the hottest trends! It is a HOUNDSTOOTH background.....but it is not just some Houndstooth background. It's a smaller scaled Houndstooth pattern. Thank you Tifany DeGough for designing this background......it is going to get a lot of use! Have you checked out Market Street Stamps backgrounds yet? They fit an entire cardfront.....just perfection.
So for my card, I paired Houndstooth up with yesterday's set called Riding By for a little 'retro' love. This card is already addressed and ready to send out to a very special friend! She loves her bike and she indeed has an orange bike too! And guess what? She even has dogs so the tiny dog in a basket stamp was perfect for this! My sentiment was white embossed onto the Houndstooth background. I have to mention that this sentiment is NOT curved in the set but with clear stamps, it's so easy to do!!!

Fun card! I like how you made the bicycle in a little window---very cool!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I cannot not get enough of MSS backgrounds, and this one is definitely a winner in my book! Sweet, little card! LOVE all that vibrant orange!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had fun playing in this beautiful weather! BJ took Adina to see the trout stocked at the lake. Unfortunately, Ezekiel was having a bit of a rough day. So, he and I had to miss out :(. Hugs!
How adorable! I love the little pup in the basket.
ReplyDeleteGreat color combination! This is such a graphic card!
ReplyDeleteLove the houndstooth and colour combo is too fun :)
ReplyDeleteThese colours just pop off the card and I really like how you used part of the stamp to peek out of the circle.
ReplyDeleteSuch a groovy and fun card, Amy!! Love the bright colors, that AWESOME houndstooth background and the super cute bicycle!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, houndstooth, a bike AND a puppy?! This is too much awesome for me to handle! LOL I really love this, Amy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card!! Those colors speak to me!! :) I love the houndstooth and the way you created the window for the bike! Super, super cute!
ReplyDeleteoh my word...this is just too cute for words...love it..
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun card Amy!!! love the orange.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, and I just giggle whenever I see that little puppy. Eeek!
ReplyDeleteThis card is absolutely darling, Amy! Fabulous and fun color choices, and the houndstooth pattern is so clean and crisp. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors you used! The Houndstooth looks great on the "Raspberry Fizz" and I am sure Tifany will agree with me that you can't go with the "Orange Zest" (she and I are fellow Fiskateers and Orange is our color!). I like how you set it off to the side and used the border down the right side. Great card!
ReplyDeleteLove that tiny houndstooth! And the orange bike...so fun! My daughter would die for a little basket for her bike!
ReplyDeleteI am loving these bright colors and how your showcased the bike! Great card!
