Peas and Carrots

It's the fifth Saturday in the month, you know what that means? Its the WILD CARD challenge at Just Us Girls! Marisa has a good one this week! A tall and skinny card. 

I am very verbal that I only ever make A2 cards ( 5 1/2 X 4 1/4). I like my cards to fit the envelope. But  aren't challenges sometimes about confronting your demons? So I bucked up and thought why cant I make think of it as a regular size card just cut down a bit?

I used a new stamp set that I got at the Heirloom Rubber Stamp convention a few weeks back. Sweet and Sassy Stamps always has a great booth and awesome card samples. My girlfriend came across this stamp set and I had to get it too.

I don't often use a lot of pattern papers these days, but the scraps just went so well with the colors of the peas and carrots, that I had to build the card around them. I went with the 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 size so it will fit into an envelope easily.

Please join us for this wild, wild card challenge at Just Us Girls!
