I designed this 5-minute 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ card to take with me to a shoebox swap with fellow SplitcoastStampers in Baltimore, MD today. It was fun to pull out some of my retired Stampin’ Up! stuff (stamps, inks, papers, even tools) for this card.
Do you remember the spectrum pads SU! used to sell? I inked up the solid background image from the Shades of Nature set with the Late November pad and stamped it on glossy card stock. The edges were cut with deckle scissors, also bought from SU! a long time ago. I do hope my fellow swappers don’t mind the lack of embellishments on this card. Anything I tried to add just looked wrong.
Thanks for stopping by!

Your card was really loved at the SCS Shoebox swap. No extra embellishment was needed for this CAS card. I forgot how much I loved the Spectrum pads, solid backgrounds and the deckle scissors. Thanks.

Vera, you are so clever! Yes, I remember those spectrum pads… still have three myself. I can’t remember ever inking the stamp with it first- no wonder I missed out on such lovely creations with those spectrum pads. Great idea, lovely card! And no embellies needed!
