I Love You (Banner Girl)

Good Morning people!

Britt Bass here bringing you a card I made using a sweet little stamp set called Banner Girl & Words!

Can you believe it is time to start making valentines?!  I began my card by stamping the girl from Banner Girl & Words Little Sweetiesstamp set on three different piece of paper - a white cardstock, a floral cardstock and a mint green.  I fussy cut and paper pieced her headband, dress, banner and shoes from the two patterned pieces and used my Spectrum Noir markers to color her hair, skin and socks.  I then set her aside.

I used a frame from the Piccolo Accents set "Small Gears and Accents" and covered it with that light cream- colored woodgrain paper and attached dotted tulle to the hollow in the middle.  I wanted it to look like a little screen door!  I cut a panel of scrapbook paper with a rose design to the size of my A2 card and used a corner chomper to give it a decorative corner.  I used distress ink on the card, frame and some parts of the little girl image and then assembled everything on my card with pop dots.

To finish I added some stickle dots and hearts, a heart outline sticker and two paper flowers from my stash.

Don't forget to visit Sweet Stamps for lots of really adorable new sets for January!

Sweet Summer Blooms with Leah Tees

Hello everyone!  Winter is unfortunately getting very close up here in the north, and I am clinging to all things summer for as long as I possible can!

And with that, I have created a card using the Summer Blooms rubber stamp.  I have heat embossed with Detail White embossing powder and water-colored this image using the Shades Ink Cube dye ink in Valentine, Royal, and Envy, and included die cuts using the Fancy Leaf die.

I love to create with this medium as the results are so organic and sometimes create a very realistic looking finished product :)

If you would like more information about how I created this card, please visit my blog at Ode to Paper :)

You can find all of these products available in the online shop at Sweet Stamps :)
