Well friends, my desk is clean, my stamp sets put away.
It's time to say good-bye to August.
What a wonderful opportunity and pleasure it has been creating for Sweet n Sassy Stamps this month. I've enjoyed creating for you too ~ sharing my heart and stories, my cards and photographs. Savoring a cup of morning coffee as we hop from blog to blog; smiling, nodding in agreement, loving all the new stamps, and oohing and aahing at all the beautiful cards from the talented design team. The art of paper-crafting is a wonderful venue to bring women together isn't it? Not only to share our skill and talents with one another, but to share from the heart as well.My last card uses the large inspirational sentiment stamp, His Peace. I've used Gelatos for a emboss resist effect. Such a soft and beautiful way to create with color don't you think? And, in my humble opinion, anything that has the word, "gelato" in it has to be good ~ right? I stamped my sentiment right on my Nestabilities 5x7 Detailed Scalloped Frame in Versafine Onyx Black ink and applied little crystals on the flourish. The panel on the left was stamped with Ranger Emboss It (clear) and heat embossed with Zing White Opaque Finish. Next came the fun part *wink* I rubbed on some pink and lavender Gelatos *sigh* until I got the desired effect. Some dark purple ribbon on an angle with a lighter lavender (almost looks like light blue in the photo) placed on top. A sweet little bow with a crystal heart charm and several lavender Prisma baby roses. The card is a 5x7 with a top open and the corners rounded at the bottom.
