This post comes from Fort Riley, Kansas! Well, in a way. I'm here with my two sons, Alex and Chase, apartment hunting for the oldest - Alex. Before leaving home, I snapped some photos so I could keep up with posting new cards each week! So although the cards are there in Iowa, the sharing is via Kansas!
This stamp set - Feel Goods - had been on my wish list for literally 2 years or more. I think the reason it took me so long to "pull the trigger" is because the sayings are more unique and therefore not used for the average birthday or thank you card. My long desired set came to me through Gloria Helmbrecht, my lovely upline, who hosts a card contest each month for her downline. Alas - I won a $25 Stampin' Up! gift certificate this past winter!! Thanks Gloria!
The above card's background color "splash" was created with the Work of Art set. I used two of the stamps: medium and small size brushstroke images. The ink colors from the top: Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango. The sheer seam binding ribbon: Daffodil Delight. The phrase was heat embossed, with VersaMark ink and White powder.
Here I also used the Work of Art stamp set for background color and decoration. Ink colors used: Soft Sky, Sahara Sand, & Blushing Bride.
The trims are Soft Sky Cotton Twine (Occasions Catalog)
and Blushing Bride 1/4" Cotton Ribbon. The lower trim is washi tape from the Occasions: Stacked with Love.
This card design was inspired by a Pinterest image, click here to see the original! I switched out the color theme to: Mossy Meadow and Wisteria Wonder. The background paper is found in the main catalog: Tyepset Specialty DSP- and I was thrilled to see that it will carry over the next catalog! Once again, Work of Art stamp set provided the great brushstroke background color. I snuck in a few splatters with
Gorgeous Grunge stamp set too!
