Up Up and Away!

Believe it or not, I wanted to keep this project simple...! But it's for Mom, and I always like to pull out all the stops for her. Plus, so gave me these gorgeous Graphic 45 papers!



The washi-ribbon-twine section on the bottom was inspired by a card I saw at A Consuming Passion.


It's a big card, at 6x6. I even decorated the inside:


Inspired by the Matching Card & Envelope challenge at Art Impressions, I used some of the same DP and elements to decorate a 6x6 petal envelope:


The stamps (sentiment & vine) are from a Country Companions/DoCrafts set.



Inspiration/Challenges:
Art Impressions Challenge #105: Matching Card & Envelope

Created With Love: Button Up

I had so much fun using this Art Impressions limited-edition Stamp:



Art Impressions pledges to donate 100% of all proceeds of the 2013 Limited Edition stamp to the Obediah Fund, which will support Open Arms International's Kambi Teso outreach. This collector's stamp will ONLY be available from November 20, 2012 to May 20, 2013! After May 20, the molds will be destroyed and it will never be sold again.

Hope you'll consider purchasing this fun stamp for a great cause!
