Baltimore SBS Card

Tomorrow I am attending the Baltimore Shoebox Swap. This is my first time attending this swap and I'm a little nervous! I never know how elaborate of a card to take, so I always seem to go simple. I guess this could be considered Clean & Simple!

I have a hard time taking my Copic markers for strangers to use...I'm afraid they'll get ruined, so I always take a card that doesn't require coloring. Since this is a Stampin' Up swap only, I decided to use my Upsy Daisy stamp set that had never seen ink. I used Green Galore for the card base, with a layer or Night of Navy. The daisy image is double stamped using Night of Navy and Green Galore inks onto GP110 white cardstock. I then attached a strip of green and white dotted grosgrain ribbon (Offray Ribbon Outlet!) across the top portion, then stamped "You're on my mind" on GP110 white and layered it on Night of Navy, then adhered that to the center of the ribbon strip. I then paper pierced across the top of the white panel.

I sure hope that the swappers like my card and that it isn't TOO simple...but when you're making 30 cards you don't want them to be too complicated...right?

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
