market street special edition block party



The Market Street Stamp Company is celebrating their 1st Anniversary with a Special Edition Block Party and there is a WICKED AWESOME prize at stake. You can read all about it here!

It's not everyday that you get the chance to enter a contest like this one! I am soooo excited! So excited, in fact, that I ordered the same background stamp twice ... {oops}.

I used two different collections on my card for this contest: Autumn Greetings and the Bit of Burlap background stamp. The cardstock base is French Roast cardstock from Amuse Studio, and I combined that with Vintage Cream cardstock from PTI and patterned papers from Crate Paper's Farmhouse Collection:

Everything was stamped using Memento's Rich Cocoa ink. I used a paper punch to cut out the hearts and strung them up on a piece of cream twine to make it look like the cute little scarecrow was holding a banner:

Then I finished the card off with the sentiment stamped on the die-cut banner, which was stitched at one end and layered in between the two pieces of cream cardstock.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it!
