Hey Ya's! Hope you are all off to a beautiful weekend!
My little Bodhi has started his Summer Break .. and we'll have loads of time to spend together until end of August! :) We've already gotten in some fun play time .. swimming, water balloons, mini-golfing, library, movies ... so far he's having a blast not having to go to school. LOL .. who can blame him right? Nice for him to stay up late and get up later too. :) And he sure is keeping me busy busy busy .. I swear this little guy has SO much energy .. he could hold a lightbulb and it would turn on. haha!!!
Anyways, have you all headed over to Lili of the Valley and ordered the AMAZING new release?!! Oh my gosh right?! So many of them, and ALL so GORGEOUS!!! Many sheets have sold out already, but no worries, no worries ... they'll be back in stock on June 20th. :)
For today's card, I've done some masking. For the main image, I've stamped "Set 54 Vintage Backs - Sweet Serenade" Photo image. Then, I added this little darling girl "Emma Swing" in there. Also, that word "Souvenir" above Emma Swing is from "Set 53 Vintage Backs - Flora and Fauna". (I just inked over the "Souvenir" word on the stamp .. and placed it right in that space.) These vintage stamps are clear .. so you can see where you want it to be! :)
I've also added "Set 46 Background Bits - Notes" .. the musical sheet stamp and placed it like a piece of ephemera with a little clip in the background..
There is just an endless amount of possibilities with these new stamps .. you can take bits and portions of it to stamp it where you want. Or you can use the entire image ... it's totally up to what you want! Crazy sweet right?!
