All Supplies from Stampin' Up! Stamps: Wanted. Paper: Sahara Sand, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red DSP. Ink: Not Quite Navy, Bravo Burgundy. Accessories: Top Note die, Jumbo Eyelets.Yes, I DID promise more projects that feature Manchester DSP . . . tomorrow! I promise! Have you ever fixed a yummy dinner and then had to eat the leftovers for 5 days? Not so yummy after awhile, is it? LOL Tomorrow's post will feature the card I made for my Mom for Mother's Day. Hopefully, you will think it is worth the wait!
For today's card, I really tried to get out of my own 'box' . . . I've had these stamps since I got them free at SU! Convention '07 but I've just not used them much. And this is the FIRST time I've EVER used Pacific Point, aside from the Make & Take projects I did at the SU San Antonio Regionals . . . it is just not my color! To help it become more 'me' and to help give it a bit of an aged western look, I sponged and distressed both the cardstock and the DSP. Well . . . I'm not doing any happy dancin' about this card, but it isn't horrible either! Just wait, you are gonna love the card tomorrow! Promise!

New to Blog's trying to find my way looks great.
I love the Wanted stamp set! Nice job using the Pacific Point; it's a brighter blue than I normally use for my Western cards, but I like it.
Great job with the card, it is super cute.
Nice card. I felt the same way about Pacific Point, but the more I use it I really am starting to like it (just in time for it to be gone).
Heh heh...I thought I was the only one who hasn't touched my Pacific Point. I really think the distressing makes it a bit more palatable-I will definately have to try that. You've inspired me to break out Wanted and give it a whirl with "girly" colors, hmmm....
