Black and Tan Keep Smiling Card

I wanted to try my hand at a distressed parchmentish looking card. I picked a smaller acrylic block and covered it with Stampin' Up's Tip Top Taupe ink. I like how the edge ink makes it look like a frame. I made a second stamp off for a lighter look and used the leaf. I then used Memento Black ink for the flower. For the ribbon color match I chose Copic Sketch E44. This was the first time using the Happy Snippets "keep smiling" and I really like the look of the font. I finished with rhinestones. A very simple classy card.

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
• Come And Get It - Anything goes
• Card Maniac - #93 Buttons and/or bows
