(SSD013)

I am delayed with posting my card for this sketch . . . seriously being pregnant, appointments, and sick kids have been getting the best of me, but it was such an awesome sketch, I knew I had to make time to play with it!

Have you ever tried this stamping "technique" before?  I stamped my images on my designer paper, in a similar color to some of the images already on the paper.  Easy -- and looks SUPERB!  This was such a quick and simple card, and really would adapt to many different sentiments!


I cannot believe how fast February has flown by . . . already we are saying thank yous and goodbye to this months guest sketch artist - Belinda Chang (who has the most gorgeous blog ever which you SO need to visit!)  Some good news though -- starting next week the design team will be working with some awesome sketches by Jami Bova (Srgt. Stamper).

As always, please go see what the design team has come up with for this sketch (links on the right sidebar under the Skipping Stones logo) and then get busy and show us what you can do (be sure to use keyword SSD013 when uploading on Splitcoast etc.)  Happy hoppin' and happy stamping!!!  Hopefully I will be back here soon with a birth announcement for our new baby girl!

Hi Amanda! I love this card. I have used the technique before, but this card is the best I've seen.

Good luck with the upcoming delivery, and I know this time it will go smoother than the last time.

Take care - I'm hoping to see pictures of the beautiful little girl very soon!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
