I made (and sent) this birthday card to someone who loves the color pink. I stamped the floral and leaf images from a Hero Arts stamp set with versamark all over a white card panel, then embossed them all with white ep. I also used a stick stamp to do all the tiny spatters between those images. I sponged everything with spun sugar distress ink for a real feminine and soft pastel look. I stamped the sentiment on black with Versamark, heat embossed that with white ep, and die cut it with a stitched circle die. Next I tied some pink satin ribbon around the card before matting it with black and placing it on a white card base. I added 3 pink gemstones for a little sparkle.
I'm entering this into the following challenges :
Little Red Wagon #410 - give us your background
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - stamp it
Thanks for stopping by and we pray for everyone's safety as the southern US braces for hurricane Irma. These massive storms are almost unimaginable to endure and I hope those who live in her path are able to safely evacuate before she makes landfall.
