Thank You So Much!

I just love this card! I don't think the picture came out so great, I tried to play around with it in photoshop to make it look more like it's amazing counterpart. Oh, well!

I had a ball making this card. It started with the swirly shape stamp (the image that 'thanks SO much' is attached to). I bought it at Michaels during their turkey day sale, so it was 50% off then another 20% off, which was perfect! So I stamped it in Versamark on my Georgia Pacific paper, then brushed over it with Perfect Pearls. Have you ever used PP?? They are just so glittery and cool, I think Ranger makes them. The 'Thanks SO Much' sentiment is from an old SU! Hostess set (So Many Sayings), which I also HIGHLY suggest because you can cut apart the blocks which makes it SUCH a great deal. I used my SU! word window punch to punch it out.

The flowers are from prima. I squirted a tiny bit of 'Broken China' distress stickles into the center (also love this product, can you tell I'm in a good mood??? lol). Next I rolled my wheel (I can't recall its name) over the bottom third of my card and finished it off with some impressions of an old Outlines stamp.

Thankful!

I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately, but I am really busy packing and getting ready to go back to school. I've also been trying to get ahead with all my wonderful design team commitments(I have some news for y'all in the coming weeks :) ). The good news is when I get back up to school I'll have some time before classes to stamp and also make some more COPIC VIDEO TUTORIALS!!!!

Ok, back to this card. I must be the last person in the stamping world to hear of 'Outline Stamps'. They are just SOOOO cool. The concept is basically a highly detailed stamp which you cut out from different papers and layer it. It looks especially nice with sparkly metallic embossing powders. For this particular card I used Diamond Sparkle by Judikins. After I cut my layers I popped them up with pop dots. The 'Thankful' stamp is from Hero Arts.

I think it's a fun stamp when I don't feel like coloring, but really want a card that pops!
