Hello!!! Crazy weather continues here in the PNW! Yesterday we had hail!! The first time it hailed I just happened to be out on a walk so I got a little soaked! Thankfully the second time it started hailing my little guy and I were in the car heading home from school. All this crazy weather has made me want to just spend the time inside making stuff. Got a couple of things done last night and I'm sharing one of them now. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by all the crafting supplies I have and when that happens I find that doing some simple collage stamping helps me feel less scattered and overwhelmed. Last night was one of those times so when I set about creating a card for the current Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches challenge I pulled out some of my favorite (and older) Stampin Up! sets to create my card. I used Summer Silhouettes, Gorgeous Grunge and Kinda Eclectic. The sentiment and die are from My Favorite Things. After die cutting a panel of white cardstock I started stamping and then had to start all over again because I stamped one of the images in the wrong ink color! After all the stamping was done I die cut the word amazing from the panel. Several additional words were die cut and adhered to the top one. I adhered some washi tape behind the negative space and then inlaid my die cuts back into the panel. Love all the mix of images and the colors!!
Supplies: Cardstock: white, Simon Says Stamp fog; Stamps: Stampin Up! and My Favorite Things (Amazing); Dies: My Favorite Things (amazing word die) and A Jillian Vance Design; Inks: Stampin Up! (So Saffron and Crumb Cake), Simon Says Stamp Smoke, Memento Tuxedo Black
Beautiful!
