Altenew's challenge utilized colors that are a bit out of my comfort zone but I totally love the combination. I stamped the background panel with the Leaf Medallion stamp set in die inks and trimmed it with a slim black border. The sentiment was heat embossed black on white and white on black. Initially I only wanted the thin black strip with "kindness" popped up on top but it got lost on the background so I added an orange and black strip to help it stand out. The sentiment is from the Build-A-Flower Carnation stamp set.
Stamplorations is having a fun blog hop in addition to the linky party and the "Love" theme is so appropriate with Valentine's Day right around the corner. I started by applying Pearl Texture Luxe to the Bubble Dance stencil. I stamped, colored and die cut the adorable heart balloons from the Tweet Love stamp set. I added a couple of pieces of 110 lb cardstock behind the embossed panel for a little bit of dimension, my trick to add dimension that is a little slimmer than foam tape. The die was popped on top with some dimensional squares and the sentiment (also from the Tweet Love stamp set) was added in black. I like the clean design and playful feel of this card.
Happy Stamping,
