Day 79 - Monday's Manufacturer


Today's challenge over at "365 Cards" was to create a card using our favorite paper manufacturer. Well to be honest my favorite paper company is BasicGrey, but my friend Tami kind of started a challenge between us here so I decided to follow along and also do "Graphic 45", they are among my top 5 paper companies and I am trying to put a class together using these papers so this challenge gave me a chance to play with some of the papers I picked up recently.
I used Graphic 45 Fashionista Collection - debutante and haute couture, these are all double sided so I used all sides. The ribbon is from May Arts. The old safety pin is from Tim Holtz, the saying is one I found and typed up, and I distressed everything with ranger distressing inks - fired brick and vintage photo.
Hope you enjoy and if you do please leave a comment so I know you stopped by.

    I adore this card. I am in love with this paper line. I am hoarding me few sheets since the LSS is out of it. I've made a few cards but need to hoard the paper for a bit before making more! This card is so stunning. Just my style! My address is.... hee hee hee
