This card was inspired by Joyce, you can find her card here.    This was a challenge card for Late Night Stampers and Joyce did an awesome job!  I changed it up a bit, I made this card one that uses the Technique 'shadowing'.  If you look at my card (below) you will see that I stamped first using the Basic Gray ink (same as paper) and then I stamped over it using Very Vanilla.  It gives it a very nice shadow look!   I used Riding Hood Red for the base and I also used Basic Gray, and the saying was done in Whisper White.



I also used the Oval All stamp set that is new in the Occasions Mini!  It fits the new Oval Scallop punch that is in the Mini also!  If you notice on the cardstock behind the main image it has a background of circles.  I used the Large Dots Sizzix Backgrounds 1.   It is so easy to use, and makes the card have dimension!!

I want to tell you about the Occasions Mini!!  There are an awful lot of stamps and accessories that will be a MUST HAVE!!  The bad news is that Sale-A-Bration is over at the end of this month.  BUT the good news is that during the whole month of April if you purchase $40.00 out of the Occasions Mini you get to pick out a $10.00 stamp set from the Spring Summer Idea Book and Catalog (page 208) for FREE!!!   It's like SAB is still going!!  And once you see what is in the Mini you will want it all!!

I hope you like this card........if you don't comment I won't know!!      I would love to see you try this technique on your own, and if you send it to me I will pick a winner and post it here, you will get a Free Gift from me!  Please make sure you use all Stampin' Up! current products.   Who doesn't want a Free gift!?? 
Thanks for participating!

Have a great Stamping Day!!
