A blog about cardmaking and papercrafting.

I have a fondness for pattern stamping, and when I received a new stamp set for Christmas, I thought this brightly colored layout would work well. I used my new Inkblot Shop This & That stamp set along with images from SSS Hello Friends and Photoplay Thinking of You.
I started by stamping the sentiment (Ranger Letter It Birthday) with Gina K Amalgam on XPress It paper. I then worked out from the sentiment and stamped the larger images first. Next I went in and filled in with the smaller details. I colored with Copic markers and added three black sequins.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by!
Aren\’t celebrations wonderful? I made two similar cards, one for graduation (purple and white are the school colors) and one for a friend who was promoted and being transferred. I loved ending with \”see you later\” at the bottom. I dug through all my sentiments and selected the ones I thought appropriate I decided a rainbow cascade of sentiments would be festive and fun so I started with purple and worked my way down.
To add a little extra interest, I used distress ink to make a purple accent strip along the right edge. I then added some sequins and gems to finish the card. I am happy with the way the cards turned out and think I will try something similar again in the future because it is always surprising how many graduation cards I need every year.
