Happy Friday, everyone!
Welcome to another fabulous challenge that Embellish has prepared for you…
I am delighted to share that our sponsor for the challenge is Hero Arts…Yay! They have a wide and fabulous collection of stamps, and as you know, you can find their products in their store as well as other virtual stores and some local craft stores
Now, let’s talk about the challenge. This time, we have some trendy colors and some beautiful images as inspiration. It is required that you incorporate “text” as part of you project… which I think is pretty cool
Of course, there is a fabby prize… and you can find more details about it by clicking here
My card features a woodblock stamp set called: Words and Flowers. This set is very nice, and I think is perfect to create a card set with it
To make my card, I stamped one of the images on a piece of black cardstock using Versamark. I heat embossed it, and then, I stitched the border. I stamped the image again, but this time I did it using black ink on white cardstock. I trimed out the flower, I added a brad to it, and I adhere the piece to the black stamped image with foam tape. I finished my card by stamping a sentiment from Sending Smiles Messages set, and I added some pearls along with a cardstock strip to embellish my card…simple, simple…
Supplies:
Card stock: Bazzill
Stamps: Hero Arts (Words and Flowers) • Sending Smiles Messages •
Ink: Tsukineko (Versamark) (Memento Tuxedo Black) •
Tools: • Sewing Machine • Score Pal • Fiskars (Paper Crimper) • Decorative Scissors
