Another Kind Word

I hope everyone loved the blog hop as much as I did. I saw some fantastic projects!

I'm trying to find the memory stick with the cards we did at my last hostess group. In the meantime, here's a card that really turned out just the way I wanted it to.



My favorite line art set - A Kind Word. I love working with the designs in this set.

Supplies used:
A Kind Word stamp set; So Saffron and Ruby Red card stock; Watercolor paper; Sweet Slumber DSP; So Saffron twill and Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbons; Jumbo brown brad; watercolor pencils; aquapainter; paper piercer; Three 4 You flower punch; Corner punch.

A Kind Word

This is one of the new stamp sets from Stampin' Up!'s latest catalog. One of my all time favorites! I had a lot of fun making this card - it was for another swap with my fellow Swappers Anonymous group. I used my Big Shot to cut out the scalloped frame - and I layered So Saffron on top of Black. The new designer paper, Tea Party, was just perfect to use with this layout. And notice the button - this happened almost by accident. I needed something to go 'inside' the button and didn't have twine or anything on hand to use. And I wanted something black to go with the rest of the layout.  A black brad worked just perfectly! What a great combo - button and brad!

 

Sweet 3 X 3

One of the new sets that I bought on my first order from Stampin' Up!'s first catalog was A Kind Word. I love to watercolor - and this is a perfect set for that technique. This is a little 3 X 3 card, using Almost Amethyst card stock for the back ground, Black card stock and the new DSP, Tea Party. The black scallop was done by punching out several small black circles and layering them behind the oval.
