Dang, this week went by fast! Happy Friday! How are you? I'm good - busy, but good. There is so much going on this month already. College Football started (yay), we made our first trip up to Apple Hill for donuts and cider, and I can feel the light changing, signaling my fav season. it's been two months since I left my corporate job and I'm finally calmed down! Wow, it has been a weird transition, and I'm so super grateful. Life is good. And I hope life is good for you too. Hello to all my new readers and followers! Stamp-tember has been a little crazy!
I'm blogging today to share a card I made with the awesome new collaboration stamp set between My Favorite Things and Simon Says Stamp! The limited edition set is called "Thanks for Being There" and it's a beautiful sentiment set. There are two large words in a pretty brushed font and then several smaller sayings in a different font. I love that look, don't you? And, I LOVE Stamptember! So many new stamps getting released, practically every day! Are you having fun seeing all the new products? I will have more tomorrow, too. Stay tuned!
For today's card I used the new stamp set "Thanks for Being There" along with the "Modern Blooms" stamp set and the Cross Stitch Squares dies...all from My Favorite Things. I used an Autumn color palette with some kraft and cream cardstock. I love using Fall colors!
My card base is kraft cardstock. I stamped some of the flower images with Versamark ink for a watermark effect. My main focal piece is cream cardstock. I stamped my sentiments in a rich brown ink. Then I gently edged the panel with Antique Linen Distress Ink and a sponge dauber. I stamped and cut out some of the flower images from Modern Blooms and mounted them with foam squares.
This stamp set is the PERFECT size for cards!
Here is what the full stamp set looks like:
