LOL! I almost didn’t bother with this, given my proclivity towards 3d paper sculptures and that “one more thing” that Julia blogged about (that was a surprise – surprise that she actually listened to my prattling as we drove!) SDC Challenge 109 is CLEAN and SIMPLE – not words that spring to mind when I do a Stampotique project. But I needed to make a few cards for DDs classroom teachers and assistants and this one came together clean and simple so I though, why not?
I just stamped the (oddly, my only Stampotique NOT Penney/Torrente) image onto the street name lists from one of my old London A to Z and added it over an embossed file-card thingie. A tiny bit of simple stamping and a scrap of ribbon and DONE! I actually really like it. And I think DDs teacher will too, if fits her. I’m amazed my stamping is a neat and straight as it is – I often make a hash of that and have to do 3 or 4 ones before I get one I can use! This time, first time was the one. I would call this a 5 minute card for sure. And from scraps too so quick AND economical!

Love this card! Wish I could make cards like this… maybe I’ll just steal yours! and it won’t take five minutes… more like 25! I can procrastinate with the best… would spend a full five minutes trying to decide which page to tear out of the A-Z!!
Oh and Julia (lovely gal that she is) has got me the fabric! Yippeeeeee! Haven’t a cookin’ clue what I will make with it yet… LOL

A lot of interest, texture and character, yet remains clean and simple, MaryAnne–not an easy task, but you have accomplished it with aplomb! Kudos to you!
