I used Soft Stone ink to randomly stamp my background, and then cut off a portion of it and mounted it to a Soft Stone card base, with another cut 2/3 of the way down to leave an open area for my sentiment (Keep It Simple: Birthday). Next I used the swirl image and embossed it with clear embossing powder on a piece of white cardstock, and then blended Raspberry Fizz and Orange Zest inks over the swirl. After fussy cutting this image out, I pop dotted it to the card, added some hot pink bakers twine, and a few rainstones, to finish off my card.

This is so pretty Marcia! Love the pop of pink and orange against the soft grey backdrop.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping someone would use this stamp set for their project! Your card looks amazing with the swirl popped up like that.
ReplyDeleteThat stamp makes a great background, fun card!
ReplyDeleteLove that you showcased the swirl as your pop of color! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNot only do you have a pop of color, the words on the swirls image is genius. Love your card.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Marcia! I love the swirly sentiment! I almost added them to my cart but decided to be good instead. Now I wish I had gotten them. Love your card - dear friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card Marcia! I did not get this set but I really like what you created. Orange and pink inks are one of my favorite colors to blend.
ReplyDeleteThat swirl sentiment is a perfect image for this technique! So beautiful, Marcia! The split for the sentiment is a great detail too.
