Today's card did not come out how I imagined, but I'm posting it anyway! As soon as I saw the inspiration pic at Just Us Girls, I immediately knew what layout and colors I was going to use. All I needed to do was decide on the stamps. I wanted a large sentiment over multiple lines and this was all I could find in my stash, so I went with it.
I started with a Fog card base. I then white-embossed the sentiment and a couple of hearts onto some Cotton Candy cardstock. A part circle was cut from some Slate cardstock for the top layer.
I decided the Slate layer was too plain so I white embossed the diagonals down each side and added some gray and white baker's twine. The Slate layer is popped up on foam tape.
Thanks for visiting. It's obvious I need to get back into my craft room as the week-long break hasn't done my any favors!
Products used:
Stamps: Sending Happy Thoughts (SSS)
Ink: Versamark
Cardstock: Slate, Fog, Cotton Candy (SSS)
Accessories: White EP, Lil' Inkers Stitched Circles, American Crafts Twine.
