Hello there...

Hey guys!  Hope you all had a nice weekend.  Ours was nice and relaxing spent with lots of friends and football.  Our Bengals lost, but we still had a great time with great company (and great food!).  

I have a card to share with you using the September SOTM: Topiaries from Clear & Simple Stamps.  I used the solid image topiaries on my card with a mix of bright colors.  I added some matching rhinestones for a little extra glitz.  I just love this color combo with the Simply Blue-tiful card base and sentiment panel.  

Here's a close-up to show how the topiary panels are popped off the card using foam dimensionals. I also inked the edges of each panel with blue ink, swiping the paper directly on the ink pad.  I rounded the edges of the sentiment strip by sliding the edge into a circle punch.  Love that little trick. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!
