sunday stamps - thinking of you

good morning peeps...it is time for another sunday stamps challenge and we are sharing a fabulous, bold & bright color combo! I have used tim holtz distressed inks and randomly swooshed them around with a piece of acetate and left pools of color for a bolder look. You can see my tutorial on ink swooshing here. I have used the stunning new turning leaves released from the stamp market. The leaves are so pretty, I wanted to leave them white and only added a bit of glitter/stickles. The sentiment is from the set called best ever greetings. I cannot wait to see what you create with this weeks fun colors. Check out the rest of the teams cards for even more inspiration!

happy hello

I am sharing a card I created using some of the new release stamps from the stamp market, have you seen their amazing stamps and dies? I adore their sweet images and fun dies! I have a couple more cards coming up this week to share using the awesoem leaves in the new release. I stamped the background swirl stamp on most of the piece of card stock, but left a bit exposed. I then sponged tim holtz distressed grey ink overtop the stamped swirl. I heat embossed both the happy and the hello and tied with twine....a fun background stamp with lots of possibilities! 

words with meaning - do small things with great love.
