Last month I missed playing along since we were traveling, but when I saw that this was the weekend of the Market Street Stamps Block Party, I was excited to have time to play along today! Here is what I made:
I started off by stamping the Punched Tin background on a shape cut out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities in Linen Papertrey ink. Then, after embossing the same shape with the same die, I left it masked off, and inked the edges a bit with some Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen. I then stamped the sentiment over the top of that.
I used some background paper from an older Cosmo Cricket 6x6 paper pad, also inked with Tim Holtz distress ink, only in Vintage Photo. 
I wrapped some crinkle ribbon in 3 different colors around, and tied them in bows along the side. 
Finished off by adding a couple brads to the side of the framed panel, then attaching it with pop-dots so it stood out a little! 
Thanks for stopping by to visit!!! I used to look at blogs that got lots of comments, and wonder if that blogger read all the comments they received - but I realized this last week that I am getting more comments than I realized - and reading every single one! They always brighten my day - so thank you!!!

  6. I got goose pimples (good ones!) from your card! I LOVE the sentiment! It's just so true. I remember hearing a speaker once who told us that, when we look back, the best things in life have most often come as a result of the worst experiences that we've had. As I look back, I can say that it true - and I always try to remember this as I'm going through trials.

    You've done such a wonderful job framing the sentiment and adding rows of pretty ribbon. GREAT job, Heather!
