Hello. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nSTAMPtember<\/a> is here and I’m part of a fun blog hop today sharing some inspiration using THIS<\/a> new stamp set.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nIt’s one of my top favorites from the release because of it’s playful design and style of font. I stamped a couple sentiments on white cardstock cut with THIS<\/a> die. I colored in the images by adding water to Distress Oxide Inks to create a watercolor. (Click HERE<\/a> to see a Quick Crafty Tip about this.)<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI mounted the pieces on to a piece of black cardstock cut with THIS<\/a> same stitched die set. I splattered the rest of the watercolor on to the black cardstock using a paintbrush. I LOVE that Distress Oxide inks have pigment ink properties so that it shows up on dark cardstock.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThe great thing about the sentiments is that the words around the image are open. I decided to color one of them in using a black sharpie and the other using the Distress Oxide watercolor. I added THIS<\/a> on top of each letter on both cards for some shine. I also stamped and colored the sentiments on another piece of cardstock so I could cut out the shaped portion and mount it with foam tape to add dimension.<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look….<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nIt’s a simple technique that adds a lot to the card.  I finished up the card with a sprinkling of sequins.<\/p>\n
