Yesterday I made a batch of these cards to add to my stash to send during Lent. I used three different stamp sets for this project and I love how they all come together for the finished card. The Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite which is absolutely stunning. I haven’t used either stamp set a lot yet but they are both really versatile and I think that they deserve lots of creative love. I stamped the background with the Elements of Text stamp set which was in a recent Online Exclusive release. I really love having the option to have a stamped background of text to give some visual interest to a project. I stamped to create a tone-on-tone effect which is perfect to have a non distracting but interesting background. This stamp set is a real winner!
This sketch challenge was the inspiration for my card layout. I already knew that I wanted to play with Elements of Text for my next project and then this challenge was published. It was absolutely perfect for what I wanted to do! How could I not play along?!?
Many of the samples from the designers had a die cut element for the circle (or a different shape), which are all beautiful. I decided to interpret a little differently with the circular script stamp from Elements of Text. The Flowers of Beauty stamp and a die cut from the bundled dies were just the touch that I wanted for the floral/leafy element on the sketch. I have to say that I’m really happy with how this card turned out. What do you think?
