sunday stamps/ssc119-thinking of you


good morning, I am sharing my take on this weeks sunday stamps challenge.....a gorgeous color combo. I have used the stunning flower from the altenew stamp set called beautiful day. I used distress inks and some blending with water and then outlined it with a white gel pen, some stickles in the center for a little shine. The background was a lot of ink splatter and distressing, super fun to create! Be sure to play along with us and check out the design team cards...these gals are amazing! add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!

I have used the super sweet prayers and die set, this is an all time favorite set. My favorite type of cards to send are inspirational and praying for you. The sweet hearts are in this set too, I created a falling hearts background and then covered each one with a little stickles...super sweet! I also luv, luv, luv the fun foam....I cut the prayers die out using it as well and then adhered it to the prayers inked sentiment to give it a popped up look....awesome effect!

50dollar_voucher_600px

ok, I have a confession...this is my first ombre anything...lol...whew...now we can move forward...lol. I have used an ombre ink pad from hero arts called light to dark peach. I wasn't real sure how to use the ink pad, so I pressed the card stock onto it and continued down to the lighter color. Really simple with a sweet effect, I then stamped the falling hearts with white ink and then went over them with liquid pearls....luv how they turned out! The "love" was die cut and then adhered onto the card. I also added a few pretty pink posh sequins for some extra luv! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!
