So, as I said, I'm fairly new at this whole card-making and rubber stamping stuff. And I realized the other day that I was coming up on my 50th card. Fifty! Who would have ever thought I'd make fifty cards? I know that to most that sounds like a drop in the sea (forget the bucket!) but I thought it was a good milestone. So cheers to fifty more! :DI had a lot of fun making this card!
I tried to use the swoosh from the stamp to make the pattern paper shaped like it. It is kinda wonky but still, fun. And then I got the hare-brained idea that I wanted some scallops on my wide border part so I pulled out my corner rounder punch and made the swoosh scalloped. Oh, this was most tedious. Not terrible though but I cut, checked to see if it was close to even and then shave off a bit more with the corner rounder punch 'til it was straight enough.
Anyway...thanks for...OH WAIT! I said something about a little blog candy! Yes, yes. To celebrate my fiftieth card that I've made, I am giving away a set of Koh-I-Noor pencils and a pack of blending stumps...as well as some (not pictured) K&Co. Amy Butler, Brenda Walton and some of this cute paper that I used on this card.
So, how do you win this fabulous blog candy? Just leave a comment on this post and on next Friday I will pick a winner via random.com!
Happy Weekend everyone! :)

What is so special about the pencils? Are they more like a pencil crayon or are they kind of soft..like pastels?
