Don't Worry About the Rain

Today’s card features the retiring Friendly Conversation Stamp Set, Playful Backgrounds Stamp Set, and Tranquil Textures DSP. I knew I wanted to use this big sentiment with the Tranquil Textures DSP, but wasn’t sure where to go from there. After playing around, I settled on stamping a background piece and layering a piece of scrap DSP over it. Very nice compliment. From there, I stamped my sentiment, added some touches, and placed it on a piece of cardstock to create a nice layered piece. Very simple card with a lot of varying blues!

Quilted Layers

Today’s card was created for a friend’s craft retreat. I wanted to so something fairly easy yet with lots of fun textures. I started with embossing a piece of same color cardstock as the card base. From there I added some pieces of fun DSP. Seriously love the colors and patterns in the new Needlepoint Nook DSP pack. From there I added some ribbon for more texture and fun sequins. I finished my card off with a great sentiment made even better by sponging on some ink to highlight a few words. In total, I made six different color and pattern combos for the craft retreat.

• Stamps: Friendly Conversations

• Inks: Soft Suede; Blushing Bride; Poppy Parade; Crushed Curry

• Cardstock: Needlepoint Nook DSP; Blushing Bride; Whisper White

• Accessories: Whisper White 1/8” Sheer Ribbon; Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins

• Tools: Quilt Top Embossing Folder; Stitched Shapes Framelits
