Pieces & Parts come together...

I made cards like these a while ago but decided I wanted to make more using the new Taylored Expressions Simple Strips sentiments.  I already had a few die cuts ready to color and the sentiments were ready as well.  Quick & easy card making!  

Meanwhile back in the stamp room....

I spent time in my stamp room over the weekend while watching basketball.  I was inspired by Carissa Wiley for the layout on these cards.  I love the clean & simple look.  The sentiments embossed in white on the black card stock are the perfect finishing touch!

Hello Summer

This was a card we made at the Amuse Studio National Conference.   We prepped the Kraft layer with the static magic pouch and then stamped the Tropical Blooms with Versamark ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder.  We used Creamsicle Dye Ink (coming soon!) and a water brush to lightly add color to the flowers.  The sentiment is stamped on a piece of vellum die cut from the Stitched Circles.  I love the soft look of this card - this is an easy technique with great results!

Sweet!
