5 Inky Fingers: Double Old Fashioned

Today I have a double header for you. They're very similar because I started out with doubles of several of the components and then sort of went in two different directions. I started with some oh-so-pretty designer paper from K & Company called McKenna. The assortment has lots of different patterns and colors to play with so it's easy to find several that coordinate and, best of all, I can almost always find a SU! cardstock color or two that matches!

Nothing wrong with that right? For these I used Regal Rose as my card base and added in a little bit of a darker rose from Bazzill too. All of the stamping is done with Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla with some sponging of Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip. The Lace Heart stamp is, sadly, retired but I am seeing similar stamps here and there in the stores now so you should be able to find a good substitute if you don't have this one. A little bit of ribbon and a little bit of punched Arch Lattice edging finish both of them off. Both of the verses are from a Cloud 9 Design acrylic set called Love, and they're perfect for those extra special valentine recipients! Thanks for stopping in! Stay warm! We're supposed to be getting some temps in the mid-teens and twenties this week. Whoo hoo! Heat wave!
