Bokeh Dots Meets Dandelion Wishes

I finally pulled out my Bokeh Dots stamp set — wow, I love it.  It is a fun background stamp that give lots of depth and character to your cards.  I added the Dandelion Wishes stamp set for a fun, whimsical card.  The greeting that I added works for a Get Well card or just to let someone know you are sending good thoughts their way.

I used a Sponger Brayer to ink the Bokeh Dots background stamp with Coastal Cabana ink — using the stamp pad directly on the stamp gave it too much ink and the image didn’t stamp right.  I also used the Stamparatus for help in centering the image.  The combination of Stamparatus and Sponger Brayer made it quick and simple to stamp the image, going over the stamp a second time if needed for complete coverage.

Southern Serenade Happy Birthday

I have fallen in love with the lacy image from Southern Serenade stamp set.  For this card it gives a soft texture background using Smoky Slate ink and then the flowers are the focal point with plenty of layers.

The flowers are Happy Birthday are stamped with Stazon and colored with Pear Pizzazz and Powder Pink Markers.  The flower image and layers are cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits.

Enjoy Life Every Day

Sometimes we don’t stop and enjoy the things around us.  We all need to think about the wonderful things that happen to us and just enjoy every minute.  The Enjoy Life stamp set helps make a very beautiful card that is simple and elegant.  This card was designed by a team member who is also my daughter, Katie Campbell.  She used my favorite color, Bermuda Bay for the base and added layers of Black and Whisper White.  The Black helps make it all “pop”.  She cut a template using the Layering Ovals Framelits and then used a Sponge Dauber with Bermuda Bay ink to fill in the oval.  I love how she graduated the colors.  The flowers, butterfly and greeting are all stamped with Memento ink — again the black gives a firm look to the card.
