Aug 4, 2016 | Hello |
My friend, creative genius, and fellow Pal Linda Callahan created a fun & easy sketch to challenge us this week.

Here's the sketch.

I used the Pretty Kitty Stamp Set for my card. Who can resist that cute face peeking out from the flower pot! After stamping the image with Archival Black Ink, I used Blender Pens, Sahar Sand, Crumb Cake, Delightful Dijon, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Daffodil delight & Rich Razzleberry Ink Pads.

The sentiment from the same stamp set is inked with Melon Mambo Ink & stamped just below the strip of Melon Mambo DSP found in the Festive Birthday Pack. The fun Crushed Curry Circle from the same paper pack adds a touch of interest to my card.

The final touches are a Melon Mambo Thick Baker's Twine Bow on the flower pot & a trio of Melon Mambo Enamel Shapes in the lower right corner.

After creating my card for yesterday, I couldn't resist trying a few more faux frame cards with different stamp sets. Today it is the Artistically Asian Stamp Set.

The images in this stamp set are so peaceful & serene that I thought they would work wonderfully with the Faux Frame Technique. The emphasis is on the image – exactly what I was going for.

My color combo is Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizazz & Whisper White with Basic Black as an accent. A clean & fresh palette is ideal for this set. A bit of Metallic Black Thread looped around the stems adds some texture to my card.

If you missed my post yesterday check it out here and you will find the directions for my Faux Frame cards. Just switch the card stock color and you will be good to go!
