I love sentiment stamps. After background stamps, they run a close second.
I especially love mixed font sentiments or the latest trend of sentiments
with a handwritten look.
Over the weekend I got inky with Hero Arts' Crafty Friends and distress inks.
See the background? It was a boo boo. The craft sheet was inked and sprayed
with water and just as I was about to place the card on top....
it slipped from my hand.
I picked up the card and liked the results so I let it dry as is. I like the white showing
around all that color. And no, I don't think I could ever duplicate it again.
I trimmed and mounted it to some Studio Calico patterned paper which is also
composed of handwritten words. I like the artsy fartsy look. (Pardon me for saying "fartsy")
Oh, and back to the stamp, it's the handwriting of stamping friend Heather Ruwe.
Quite awesome, isn't it? You can read all about how it came to be here.
And even though my card has just a sprinkling of gold sequins and a spatter of gold ink,
I'm going to link this up to Virginia's View Challenge #9 which is all about metallics....and bling!
Thanks for stopping by today!
