Hello and good evening stamping friends! I have a little card to share with you all tonight that I made for my stash. I don't know about you, but there are many times when I need a card last minute and even though  have tons of already made cards, it seems not to be the right one for the occasion. So to build a little stash I started off with this card right here that  just a sweet image on the front and can be adjusted to any occasion with a sentiment on the inside. I did leave the inside blank and will stamp that quick sentiment or greeting on the inside when the time comes.

Have a look at my all pink and white creation

Recipe:

Paper: PTI White, Echo Park Victoria Garden

Stamps: ODBD Birthday Blessings

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa

Accessories: ZVA Creative pearl flourish, Recollections half pearls, Mulberry roses and leaves, pleated satin ribbon, Venice lace, pink loop trim, Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles


What do you think? Don't you think that this could be an any occasion card?

Thanks so much for stopping by. I know this is a short and sweet post, but I wanted to share with you all.

Hugs and blessings,
