Stamp Simply #110 - It's hip to be Square

Stamp Simply #110 - October 23- ssnotime110 - Today's challenge is all about Squares. How ever you want to create it - But you have to keep the elements of your card square, no ovals, circles, no rounded corners..... Upload your project to Spiltcoast and use the keyword "ssnotime110". Check out all the Challenge Details and see Sharon's creation on her blog No Time to Stamp.

Please check out the great samples for the Stamp Simply Challenge today on the blogs of these totally creative designers: Janine, Julie, AJ, Tammy, Deb and Barbara, also Barb Schram (Barb is kindly filling in for a bit as Jennifer Buck takes some much needed time off — enjoy your break, Jennifer — we’ll miss you!) and we have Amy Rohl as our special guest stamper for October!

OK, this is not a scene you would see passing by my window! LOL!!! If I had baked a pie, believe me, I don't think it would have time to make it to the window to cool! Isn't that what the Ice Cream is for?? To cool it down??
I kept it square and clean and simple, for me anyway! I thought the image had enough elements in it that I did not want to fuss it up, adding only some silky ribbon to embellish. I colored everything with Copics, cutting it it out and embossing the edges with a Square Nestie. I added the gold silk ribbon, using a slot punch on the left side to bring it through the panel, and then using my Bow Easy tool to tie the little triple loop bow. My favorite thing to use for bows has to be silk ribbon, it cinches down so beautifully to knot in the middle. Finished card size is 5" Square.
