Have you checked out the Peaceful Place stamp set in the Annual Catalog? The name is absolutely perfect for the stamp set.
This set works for birthdays, sympathy and thinking of you. The creek scene would be beautiful in a frame and hung in your home or office. I used the set to make a birthday card for my husband. He loves to going hiking and when I first saw this set it made me think of him and my dad. I’m not a huge nature lover but most of my family and my in-laws are so I know I’ll get lots of use from this stamp set.
This is the card I made for Tony. I cased it but I don’t know who made the original but what a great card it is. I sponged colors on to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece Whisper White cardstock — started with So Saffron in the center, then added Cajun Craze all around the whole piece, then Early Espresso (I stayed away from the very center with this color) and then I went back over with more Cajun Craze. It looked a little funny until I stamped the image with Early Espresso. I used the Stamparatus with the Clear Mount stamp set because I could ink the stamp up a second time and restamp the image to get it darker. I love how the center looks like a sunset — beautiful.
I added “It’s Your Day” on the bottom and wrote my birthday greeting inside.
Supplies:
Love the whole card. Your color sponging is beautiful. Gives me inspiration to try it.
Thank you Diana. Give it a try — it looks more intimidating that it is. The final result will make you proud
