To create my card, I went right to the Smile! stamp set from Happy Little Stampers. As I looked at each of the sentiments in the set, the one I used on my card called to me. The silhouette image from Happy Little Stampers Wish You Were Here stamp set immediately came to mind. I stamped it on a panel from my bits box that was made with Distress Oxide Inks and stamped with Full On Floral from CAS-ual Fridays. I thought it had a "mod", "retro" feel and went perfectly with the sentiment. I added a few sequins, and that was it!

ReplyDeleteThat full on floral background looks amazing over the inky panel from your bits box. The image and sentiment go hand in hand. Lovely clean layout too. Thank you for sharing this with us at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, we all have "bits" boxes and sometimes they come in the most handy. I love your Distress Oxide inking and I could use some work there. Thank you for joining us this week at Watercooler Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteWow, Stephanie, what a great design! Love that background of oxides. It makes your stamped flowers and the silhouette of that trendy girl stand out beautifully. Love the scalloped edge detail, too. Lovely card! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
