Mornin' y'all and happy Star Wars day! Ryan and I said May the Fourth Be With You to each other and then he tried to argue with me when I said Darth Vader could stop blaster bolts with his hand. LISTEN, Padawan, I've been a Star Wars fan for 40 years longer than you!!! And don't EVEN argue with me when it comes to the original trilogy, I know my stuff.
Okay, so I spent most of the weekend making cookies for the hubs to take into work and I didn't plan well enough to have a Star Wars card to share today, so we'll have to make do with this:
I've made a few cards with Blackberry Bliss as the main color and I like it. The latest Color Dare gave me an excuse to make this card:
I used Blackberry Bliss (of course), Cloud Cover, and Soft Sea Foam. I really like how the two lighter colors pop on that Blackberry card base, and the pearls I used are actually Soft Succulent but they blend really well with the two colors I used here today. My greeting is stamped on Basic Beige; I've discovered that I like the cardstock but the ink just turns out to be a really yucky sick greenish color so I'm going to pretend that the ink doesn't exist.
I also used the new sketch from Sunday Stamps:
All the elements are there, though my placement of them is a little bit different since my greeting isn't as long as in the sketch. This time I mostly played with the die cut ferns from Fern & Flora, and I have some Blackberry Bliss ribbon in my stash that dates back to when it was an In Color, ha!
That's it for now, peeps. Have a great Star Wars day, I'm wearing a shirt with an Ewok on it : ) May the Fourth be with you!

Love this, Christy! I completely agree about Basic Beige - I'm having the same experience, lol. This is so gorgeous in these colors - purple and green is my fave combo! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
