SSNOTIM55...Singing & Stamping With Becky!

Had one of those "whoa" moments this morning when I saw
Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge and just had to participate. This week Sharon is featuring design team member Becky. Becky makes amazing cards and projects using her stamps and amazing talents. She is also a singer with an amazing voice. I listened to her on myspace. :)
I did a different challenge yesterday (here) and had stamped this blue paper with this sheet music stamp by Purple Onion, and had also used Cuttlebug's Allegro folder on the same paper. I chose the embossed paper for the other challenge and this one went into my "now what do I do with it" drawer. Out it came this morning for this card! I inked the edges and mounted it on brown CS. I used this Inkadinkado stamp because it feels sing-songy. The sentiment is from Crafty Secrets Bird Notes set. Both were then cut out and embossed with Nestabilities. Inked their edges and lightly tamped the ink pad over each to try to tone down the white. Tied on that fun ribbon, attached the main image with dimensionals, and the sentiment directly on the base.
Stamps: Purple Onion, Inkadinkado, Crafty Secrets.
Paper: Paper Studio CS, Hot Off the Press DS.
Ink: Colorbox Queues.
Accessories: Ribbon, Nestabilities
