Hello everyone!

I am delighted to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog highlighting the NEW Susan's Garden Favourites Collection. The breathtaking blooms and unique elements in this Collection inspired me to create three soft and cheery springtime cards featuring some of my favourite flowers.

I loved the big bold blooms in the Sunflower and Ladybugs Die Set, so I decided to create with that first. I combined it with different elements from the Sunflower and Ladybugs Etched Dies, Freesia Etched Dies, Bearded Iris Etched Dies, Lilac Etched Dies, Dogwood Etched Dies, along with the Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies.

To create my card, I first die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the sunflower dies in the Sunflower and Ladybugs Die Set. I die cut enough layers to help me create on full sunflower. Next, I blended Orange Gouache in the center of each layer with a paint brush and then applied Yellow Gouache to the tips of each petal. I shaped the petals using the tweezers in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit and adhered the layers together with liquid glue. Next, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the flower centre and seed dies in the Sunflower and Ladybugs Die Set. I coloured the pieces using Brown Gouache and cupped the petals using the small ball tip in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit and adhere the layers together with liquid glue. Next, I added Gold and Orange Glitter Balls to the centres for a realistic touch. 

Next, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the leaf dies in the Sunflower and Ladybugs Die Set and Fern Cardstock using the curved and straight leaf dies included in the Bearded Iris Etched Dies. I coloured the white leaves using Green Gouache and added a vein to each using the leaf tip tool in the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.  Next, I shaped the tips using the medium ball tip for a more realistic finish. Once that was done, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the branch die in the Freesia Etched Dies and coloured the pieces using Brown Gouache. Then, to create additional filler flowers and foliage for my card, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the petal layers and bud dies in the Freesia Etched Dies. I coloured the die-cuts using Lilac Gouache and then used a dark orange Copic Marker to flick some colour out from the center to add some quick colour to the petals. Then, I embossed each piece using the tweezers in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit and adhered the layers together with liquid glue. Next, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the bloom die set in the Lilac Etched Die Set. I coloured the die-cut pieces using Light Pink and Blue Gouache and cupped the petals using  using the small ball tip in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. I added Silver and Orange Glitter Balls to the centre of the lilacs for added interest.

Next, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the Large Rectangle Outer Rim and Insert Die together from the Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies to create a frame for my card front. Then, I trimmed a panel of White Cardstock to size and wet the panel with water and used Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks with a Water Brush in a dabbing motion, allowing the colors to mix slightly. Next, I placed a stencil in the centre of the panel and applied Mint Ink lightly all over with a blending brush to create a soft background. I stamped a sentiment from the Garden Favorites Sentiments Clear Stamp Set on to the panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I adhered the flowers, foliage, and frame down on to my panel using the Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue for a strong hold. Then, as a finishing touch, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the four spot ladybug die in the Sunflower and Ladybugs Die Set and coloured the piece using a red Copic Marker and Black Fineliner Pen to add some details to the body. I adhered it down on one of the leaves and then mounted my card front to an A7-sized white card base using tape runner. 

My next card features the Clematis Etched Dies, which is one of the most impressive-looking flowers in the collection. I wanted to make sure I used a canvas large enough to really show off all of the layers and detail, so I created a 6” x 6” Card, which would be perfect to gift someone on their wedding or any other really special occasion.

To create my card, I first die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the flower dies in the Clematis Etched Dies. I die-cut just enough petals to help me create two large flowers for my card front. Next, I used a Light Pink Copic Marker to create sweeping strokes from the center of the flower stopping before the outer edge of the petal, leaving some white area. Once that was done, I blended Spun Sugar Distress ink to the centre of the flowers with a sponge dauber and around the edges of the die-cuts to add dimension. Next, I shaped the petals using the tweezers and the loop tool from the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. I then die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the the stamen die included in the set and coloured the pieces using a Yellow Copic Marker and cupped the petals using  using the small ball tip in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. 

Next, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the leaf dies in the Clematis Die Set and Fern Cardstock using the curved and straight leaf dies included in the Bearded Iris Etched Dies. I coloured the white leaves using Spring Green Gouache and added a vein to each using the leaf tip tool in the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.  Next, I shaped the tips using the medium ball tip for a more realistic finish. 

Once that was done, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the branch die in the Dogwood Etched Die Set and coloured the pieces using Brown Gouache. Then, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the Large Circle Outer Rim, Insert, and Inner Rim Dies from the Fluted Classics Circle Etched Dies. I die-cut another piece of Snowdrift Cardstock and White Fun Foam using the Large Circle Insert Die to create a window for my card panel. I adhered the circle frame down on to the panel using foam squares for a raised effect and arranged the flowers and foliage down around the frame. Next, I placed a stencil in the centre of the card base and applied Blush Ink lightly all over with a blending brush to create a soft stenciled background. Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Garden Favorites Sentiments Clear Stamp Set on to a strip of Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I die-cut the sentiment using a coordinating banner die and adhered the piece onto my panel using foam squares for a raised effect.  

Next, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the bloom die set included in the Lilac Etched Die Set. I coloured the die-cut pieces using Light Blue Gouache and cupped the petals using  using the small ball tip in Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. Then, I added Silver Glitter Balls to the centre of the lilacs for added interest and adhered them to my panel using the Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue. Then, to finish, I affixed the card front to my 6" X 6" white card base using foam tape for dimension. Then, as a finishing touch, I adhered a few Teal Color Essentials Gems around my floral wreath. I love the beautiful sparkle of the gems! 

My last card for today features the Dogwood Etched Dies, along with the Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies. I thought I'd create a Dogwood floral branch for this card and wanted the die set to be the star of the show for this one. This cheery card would be perfect for sending a happy hello to a friend or to just let them know that you have been thinking about them.

For my card, I first die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the blossom petal dies in the Dogwood Etched Dies. I cut out a bunch of the blossoms, just enough to help me create a number of Dogwood floral branches. I blended Light Pink Gouache onto about half of each petal and added veins to the petals using the leaf tip tool in the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. I shaped the tips using the medium ball tip and then die-cut the stamens out of Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock. I coloured the tips of the pieces using an Orange Copic marker and shaped the pieces using the small ball tip in the in the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. Susan’s assembly videos helped me abundantly while creating the flowers and made it a really relaxing and fun process.  

Next, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock and White Fun Foam using the branch dies in the Dogwood Etched Dies. I adhered two stems branches together with liquid glue to form sturdier die-cuts. Next, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges of the die-cuts using a blending tool to add depth. Once that was done, I die-cut Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock using the tiny leaf dies in the set and coloured them using Light Green and Spring Green Gouache  \and added veins to the leaves using the leaf tip tool in the Susan’s Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. I shaped the tips using the small ball tip for dimension and kept them aside to work on my background. 

I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock and White Fun Foam using the Large Rectangle Outer Rim and Insert dies from the Fluted Classics Rectangles Die Set. Next, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the Medium Insert Die from the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Die to create a window for my card panel and ink blended the left one-quarter of the panel using Tumbled Glass Distress ink, concentrating the darker shade towards the top. I then flicked some blue paint on my panel using a paint brush for a fun splatter effect. Once that was done, I trimmed another piece of Snowdrift Cardstock to size and ink blended the centre of the panel using Tumbled Glass Distress ink again, concentrating the darker shade towards the left. Once I was happy with the way it looked, I adhered the layers down on my card base using liquid glue. I adhered down the branches and dogwood flowers on my panel using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares for dimension. Then, to complete, I stamped a sentiment from the Garden Favorites Sentiments Clear Stamp Set to the card panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Lastly, I mounted the panel to a top-folding card base using tape runner and embellished the card using a few Teal Color Essentials Gems. I am quite happy with the way this turned out!

To create my card, I first stamped a number of the images from the  Old School Notes Stamp set on to Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I colored the images using the Jane Davenport Watercolors Neutrals Set. Once the images were all colored and dry, I die cut the images using the coordinating dies. 

Next, I die-cut Beeswax, Dahlia, Rainforest, and Teal Topaz Cardstock using the flower and leaf dies included in the Typing Class Die Set. Then, I went ahead and stamped some additional solid leaves from the stamp set on to Snowdrift Cardstock using Electric Lime ink and cut them out using the  coordinating dies to use as foliage. Next, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the typewriter message die included in the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club and stamped a sentiment on it using Versafine Onyx Black ink and popped it on my panel using foam adhesive. 

Next, to create my card background, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the Extra Large Frame Die from the Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Die Set. Then, I wet my panel with water and used Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks with a Water Brush in a dabbing motion, allowing the colors to mix slightly. I let the panel dry and then added some grey and teal paint splatters for interest. Then, I stamped one of the sentiment pieces from the Old School Notes Stamp set using Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink randomly all over the panel to create a vintage letter look. I really love how it adds a little something to the background. 

Hello everyone!

I am so thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today highlighting the NEW Into The Wilderness Collection by Sushma Hegde. This beautiful collection features an array of floral and nature-inspired images that can be used in a number of ways.

My first card features the Birthday Bouquet Clear Stamp Set along with the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies, and the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. I wanted to create the look of a loose watercoloured painting on my card front and this set was simply perfect for it. The stamp set has so many beautiful possibilities and I was very excited to play with it!

To create my card, I started by stamping the floral bouquet from the Birthday Bouquet Clear Stamp Set in Antique Linen Distress ink onto a piece of Canson Montval Watercolour Paper. The colouring was quite simple from there - I used my Watercolors Set Neutrals Set to apply the darkest shade in the center of the image, then pulled the color out a bit with the lighter shade, and then pulled the lighter shade out to the edges with a clean water brush. Once the image was completely dry, I went in and added some highlights to the images using Zig Markers. I wanted the flowers and the overall look of the card to be softer, so I avoided stamping with black ink. 

Once my colouring was finished, I applied a thin line of blueberry paint around the entire image and drug the color out loosely with water for a soft, watercolored background. I then flicked some gold metallic paint on my panel using a paint brush for a fun splatter effect. Next, I die cut Alabaster Cardstock using the Large Oval Outer Rim, Insert, and Inner Rim Dies from the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies. Then, I die cut Alabaster Cardstock using the Outer Die from the Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die Set. I snipped-off the four corners of the die cut piece and adhered them down on my panel using the Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue. 

 Next, I used Gold Hot Foil to foil Onyx Cardstock using one of the sentiments from the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and cut it out using the coordinating die. I adhered the piece onto my panel using foam squares for a raised effect. Then, to complete, I mat my background panel with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adhering it to a side-folding white card base with tape runner. I finished the design with some sparkling gold sequins around the bouquet to embellish.

My next card features the Layered Anemones Clear Stamp Set. I paired it with the Diamond Floral Frame Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set and one of the sentiments from the Birthday Bouquet Clear Stamp Set to create this soft watercolour card. 

To make my card, I stamped the layered flower images from the Layered Anemones Clear Stamp Set on to Snowdrift Cardstock using Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink for the blooms and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink for the flower centres. Next, I stamped the Bud D with stem stamp images on to Snowdrift Cardstock using Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink. Then, I die cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the 3 Leaf Frond die from the Diamond Floral Frame Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. I watercolored the pieces using Watercolors Set Neutrals Set and added some highlights with Prisamacolor Pencils for depth. Next, I fussy-cut the stamped pieces with a pair of scissors, leaving a small white border around the images.

Once that was done, I trimmed a piece of Snowdrift Cardstock to size and added a light watercolour wash to the panel using the Jane Davenport Watercolour Set - Brights. I applied colours from the Watercolour Set to the wet area using a Waterbrush Pen in a dabbing motion, allowing the colors to mix slightly.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Bouquet Clear Stamp Set on top of the watercolor background using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I added some metallic gold paint splatters to the background using the leftover paint from my palette.

I die cut Mirror Gold Cardstock and White Foam using the Outer and Inner Diamond Dies included in the Diamond Floral Frame Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set to create a frame for my card front. I adhered it down on to the background using the Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue and then arranged my flowers and leaves around the frame. Next, I die cut some additional foliage using the sprig die included in the Flourished Fleurit Die Set and tucked them in-between the floral arrangement for interest. The stamped and die-cut images were then adhered down using a combination of foam squares and Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue.  Next, I die cut Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Layer 1 Die from the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies and adhered it down using liquid adhesive to my background panel. I then matted the card panel with Snowdrift Cardstock and attached it to an top-folding pink card base made out of Pink Sand Cardstock using tape runner. I finished the card with a few sparkling gold sequins for some shimmer and shine.

My last card for today features the Being Around You Wreath Clear Stamp Set, the Fluted Classics Circle Etched Dies, and the Fluted Classics Rectangle Etched Dies. This card would be simply perfect to send to a friend for a sweet springtime hello! 

To create my card, I started by adding a generous amount of water to a piece of Canson Montval Watercolor Paper, which I taped down onto a hard board as I wanted to watercolor the background. Next, I applied a few “shots” of Olive Green Color Burst powder onto it and set it aside to let it dry. I then flicked some gold metallic paint and black acrylic paint on my panel using a paint brush for a fun splatter effect. 

Once the panel had dried, it was time to begin stamping! I wanted the focus to be on the gorgeous Being Around You Wreath Clear Stamp Set, so I stamped the half-circle wreath image and the additional floral motifs in Versafine Onyx Black ink on to a piece of Snowdrift Cardstock to create the centrepiece for my card. Next, I coloured in the images using the Watercolors Set Neutrals Set and a water brush. I let the images dry and then went in and painted the centres of the flowers using Gold Metallic Paint for some shimmer and shine. Once that was done, I fussy-cut the images out with a pair of scissors. 

Next, I die cut Mirror Gold Cardstock and White Foam using the Medium and Small Inner Rim Dies included in the Fluted Classics Circle Etched Dies to create a frame for my card front. I then adhered them down using the Bearly Art Original Precision Craft Glue on my watercolored background. Next, I popped up the stamped images on the card front using foam squares for dimension. Then, I used Gold Hot Foil to foil Onyx Cardstock using one of the sentiments from the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and cut it out using the coordinating die. I adhered the piece onto my panel using foam squares for a raised effect. Then, to complete, I die cut Alabaster Cardstock using the Large Rectangle Outer Rim and Inner Rim Dies from the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies. Once that was done, I adhered it down on my card panel with Precision Craft Glue, matted the panel with some Mirror Gold Cardstock, and adhered it to a top-folding white card base with tape runner. Then, as a finishing touch, I adhered a few Prism AB Color Essentials Gems around my floral wreath. I love the beautiful iridescent sheen of the gems! 

For my card, I started by trimming a piece of Snowdrift Cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ and created the background pattern using the 'Ink Smooshing' technique. I just pressed Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks onto different areas of my craft mat and spritzed them with water until they beaded up. I then pressed my piece of cardstock into the droplets and dried it with a Heat Gun. I continued pressing the cardstock into the ink droplets until I had look that I liked and was happy with.

Next, I I stamped one of the heart designs and the individual floral images from the One Love, One Heart Stamp Set onto Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I coloured the images using Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and then cut them out with the coordinating dies (included if you subscribe to the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kit) and popped them up in the middle of the card using foam adhesive. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the same set onto a strip of Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and used one of the banner dies included in the Kit to cut out the card sentiment and popped it down on my panel using  foam adhesive.

To accentuate my design, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock and White Fun Foam using the Extra Large Hemstitch Die from the Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies. I adhered down the frame to my panel using liquid adhesive and then mat the card panel with  Snowdrift Cardstock. Then, to finish, I adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with liquid adhesive. Lastly, I adhered a few Iridescent Crystal Gems around my stamped design to add some sparkle and shine to the panel. 

Hello, crafty friends!

 I’m so thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog using the new Precision Layering Basics Collection. Basic nesting dies are a staple in every crafter's stash and there are so many things one can do with them. The dies in the Precision Layering Basics Collection are designed to cut perfectly spaced layers of 1/8-inch, and when combined with the B Sets, help you achieve a 1/16-inch border. This means no more measuring, as the work is done for you. I used the various dies in this collection to create three easy and fun cards for a variety of occasions. 

My first card features the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies, Precision Layering A2 B Etched Dies, and the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies & Precision Layering Mini Slimline B Etched Dies. I kept this card simple to go with the modern look of the die set. I used various colors of cardstock from my stash to make the colour block background and adhered bunches of pink and blue flowers around the sentiment.

To create my card, I first cut Snowdrift, Pink Sand, and Brushed Silver Cardstock using different layering dies from the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Die Set and arranged the pieces together to create my background. This is a great technique to use existing scraps in your stash and utilizing them for creating card backgrounds! Next, I die cut Brush Gold Cardstock using the Layer 1 Die from the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies and adhered it down using liquid adhesive to my background panel. I then matted the card panel with Pink Sand Cardstock and attached it to an top-folding white card base using tape runner. 

Next, I die cut Brush Gold Cardstock and White Fun Foam using the Layer 3 and Layer 4 Dies from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies to create a die cut frame for my card front. I used two different nesting dies to create the frame, but you can stick to one if you'd like. I adhered the pieces one on top of the other using liquid adhesive. 

Next, I die cut Snowdrift Cardstock using various flowers and foliage dies from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs Etched Dies and Layered Blooms Etched Dies. I coloured the die cut pieces using Jane Davenport's Watercolour Brush Markers and then foam-mounted them to the panel for dimension. Once that was done, I used Gold Hot Foil to foil Onyx Cardstock using one of the sentiments from the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and cut it out using the coordinating die. Then, to finish, I adhered the pieces onto my panel using foam tape for a raised effect. 

My second card features the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies, Precision Layering Mini Slimline B Etched Dies, and the Primrose Heart Façade Etched Dies. I have long been a fan of Slimline cards, so I was absolutely thrilled to know that Spellbinders now offers Mini Slimline dies as well. These are such a fun alternative to standard A2-sized cards and I love working with this size. The idea for this card was to create a floral design on a dark background, surrounding a foiled sentiment frame and the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies made it such a breeze to create my card design. 

To create my card, I first die cut Brush Gold Cardstock using the Layer 1 Die from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies to create a die-cut frame for my card front. Next, I die cut Navy Blue Cardstock using the coordinating Layer 2 Die from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline B Etched Dies. Then, I die cut Brush Gold Cardstock using the the Layer 4 Die from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies. I adhered the layers together using liquid adhesive to create my background panel.

Next, I die-cut Snowdrift Cardstock using various flower and foliage dies from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs Etched Dies and Layered Blooms Etched Dies. I used a combination of Jane Davenport's Watercolour Brush Markers and Copic Markers to colour and shade the die-cut pieces, but you can also cut out the pieces from colored cardstock and assemble them together, or use any colouring medium of your choice. 

Next, I die cut Brush Gold and Snowdrift Cardstock using the Layer 11 Dies from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Etched Dies and Precision Layering Mini Slimline B Etched Dies. I stamped my sentiment from the All Occasion Sentiments Stamp and Die Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and adhered the layers together using liquid glue and then foam-mounted them to the panel for dimension. Then, to finish, I attached my card background to an top-folding navy card base using tape runner. I really liked working with a dark background for this card, I think it helps the pale pink and coral flowers pop. 

My final card for today features the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies, Precision Layering A2 B Etched Dies, and the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7" Card Base Etched Dies. I love stretching my supplies to get more out of them and the background for this card was so fun to create using just nesting dies. With a few butterflies and a big, pretty sentiment, this card came together easily.

To make my card, I first die cut a piece of Brush Gold Cardstock using the Layer 1 Die from the Precision Layering A2 B Etched Dies and Snowdrift Cardstock using the coordinating Layer 2 Die from the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies. I mat the white panel with the foiled card panel using tape runner and then attached it to a top-folding white card base made from Snowdrift Cardstock.

Next, I die cut Snowdrift and Gold Glitter Cardstock using various nesting dies included in the Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies. I coloured the pieces using Copic markers, but you can use Distress Oxides or inks as well if you like. Next, I assembled the pieces down on my panel and adhered them using liquid adhesive. I trimmed the overhanging pieces using a paper trimmer and used the leftover die-cut pieces on the other side of the panel to create a continuous background design. This is a great technique to get more out of your basic shape dies. One can create a multitude of die cut or embossed background for your cards using simple techniques like such. 

Then, to embellish my card, front I die cut Snowdrift Cardstock using the butterfly dies from the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7" Card Base Etched Die Set. I used Copic Markers to colour and shade the die-cut pieces, but you can also cut out the pieces from colored cardstock and assemble them together. I also die cut the body of the butterflies from Gold Glitter Cardstock for interest. Next, I stamped the sentiment from Sending You stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Snowdrift Cardstock and cut out with one of the coordinating dies. I popped in on to my panel using foam adhesive for dimension. Once that was done, I stamped the accompanying sentiment from the same stamp set on to a strip of Snowdrift Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink and popped it on to my panel using foam adhesive too. I really love how easy and fun this was to make!
