Convention Share Part 2

Swaps are one of the most fun part of Convention. I stepped into the hotel lobby to check in and the first thing I saw were groups of women just trading their creations like little kids, just excited and full of smiles. I didn't know what I wanted to do first, start trading and get my room later or check-in first!

Here are some of my favorites:

Thank You Medallion

I love the Stampin' Up! catalog. It is not only a catalog but an idea book! The front cover showcases a beautiful card using the Medallion Background and Framed with Love stamp set that I just found to be so beautiful. I had to make one of my own.

Here is my version of this card using a color challenge from a while back: basic gray, really rust, more mustard, and very vanilla. I ran out of Really Rust card stock so I took my handy brayer tool and made my own Really Rust card stock by rolling Really Rust classic ink onto my Very Vanilla card stock. To add more texture, I stamped the small floret onto the brayered Really Rust card stock. I just love the elegance of this card.
