What I love

Just a quick post to show you what I love ... this sentiment from "What I Love", a Sale-a-Bration, stamp set you can get for FREE (on pg. 7)!!  I truly adore this font. I would love an all occasion set in this! The flower stamp is also from Sale-a-Bration (Flowering Fields - pg. 12).

I stamped on Shimmery White cardstock with Archival Basic Grey ink  and colored in with blender pens and ink.  This shimmery white paper is amazing.  It doesn't pill up when you color and it has a pretty shimmery look which you can't see in the photos.  I used Crushed Curry and Tangelo Twist ink on the butterfly, and Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss on the flower and leaves.

For the card base, I used Blackberry Bliss.  I ran it through the Big Shot with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions embossing folder, and paired it with a retired color (Soft Plum?) and Old Olive.  I colored in a Perfect White Accents enamel dot.  I cut the end of the sentiment strip with the banner punch.  I can't seem to make a card without this punch!

I made this for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. Isn't this color combination delicious?!   I had a new stamp set just waiting to be inked up and I thought these pretty flowers would look great with Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride.  I hope you'll go and check out all of the gorgeous creations at Pals Paper Arts! Or better still, why don't you join us in the challenge? ** edited to add:  Ooooops!  I used Blushing Bride instead of Pink Pirouette!

You've Got This

I made this for a good friend of mine who is close to the end of her radiation treatments.  The pretty flower stamp set is a FREE stamp from Sale-a-Bration called "What I Love".  It has a great "thank you" but I really needed another sentiment for this card.  That's what I love (pardon the pun) about having a variety of stamp sets to mix and match!

"What I Love" is a three-step stamping set.  It's very simple.  You start with a light color and gradually add layers in darker colors.  It's easy and looks like you did some amazing techniques to get there. Please let me know what you think!

p.s.  If you don't know what Sale-a-Bration is, it is a catalog of FREE products.  For every $50 you spend, you get to choose a FREE item!  This runs from January 5 - March 31.  Click here to check out the catalog:  Sale-a-Bration.
