While making these cards for Barb's bingo color challenge, I kept thinking of spumoni ice cream. Since Rite Aid doesn't have spumoni, I had to settle for mint chip, which was yummy. Both of these cards are made with new stamps I bought from Ethel. I adore them.
This first one is by the Queen's Dresser Drawers -such a cute name. I applied distress ink in peeled paint & worn lipstick to glossy white CS. Then I stamped the image with brown staz-on. I layered it and added some doodads. Can you guess what the pink ribbon and metal thing are from?
This card's image really didn't turn out right, but I love how it looks old and water damaged, so I used it. I used the same distress inks on photo paper and then stamped the image with walnut stain distress ink. I think the ink & photo paper is why it didn't come out. The pp is Basic Grey, and some doodads from my stash. Thanks for a grand color challenge, Barb.

Love both cards. Great distressing and images. The water damaged looking one is really cool.
Tami these both are so soft and romantic and absolutely lovely.
Tami, very lovely cards. I agree with Jennifer, so romantic looking. Bingo gets 2 extra numbers tomorrow. YAY!
Tami, you find the best images and do the most creative things with them.... just enough embellishing... just just so...

I think these look great! What's your fancy new photo badge over there....looks neat-o :)
They are both so charming! Love the colors and the romantic feel that they have to them!
Great cards. Love the colors. I think I prefer mint chip ice cream to spumoni. I'm not into creepy candied fruit in my ice cream. LOL.
Spumoni - yum. I haven't had it in years! Great card but now I'm hungry!

Wonderful cards, looks like something I might find in the attic in Grandma's memory box. Love the look! Thanks for sharing and adding bingo numbers.
Definitely great cards, Tami. I love your softer cards... and now you have me craving ice cream too.
beautiful colors! I love the romantic feel of both of them too!
This is such a great image. I love how it looks so old. Very neat effect.
Both of these are beautiful. Ice cream certainly is inspiring.
