Today I have a gift tag for your inspiration. I used Distress Oxides and the Grunge Grid stencil as well as the word "Happy" and the stars from the Beautiful You stamp set for background texture.
With a scrap from a previous card, I created a birthday candle. I added a sentiment from the Beautiful You set (colored in with Polychromos pencils) and some super fun textiles and that is it.
I can't wait to add it to a wrapped gift. I think it will be the perfect touch but what do you think?
I hope you are inspired.
Thanks for stopping by!

By the way... there is a sale going on right now for you!
The sentiment and stemmed floral are from the fabulous God is Good set and the branch is from the new God is Love set, both illustrated by Deeds. Isn't she just knocking it out of the park with her new sets? I cut these images with a 0.4" border with a Scan 'n Cut machine. The sentiment is framed using a stamp from the Decorative Frames stamp set, and then cut with the coordinating dies.
I really love the contrasting look of pairing stripes with floral images. Something about those straight lines next to all the curvy floral goodness make me happy! So I pulled out the new Grunge Grid Stencil. and lightly blended with pink and soft aqua dye inks for a fun lavendar-ish blend. I finished by layering everything onto an A2 size card base and adding a bit of sparkle with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.
So, how about you? Do you love to mix up your stamp sets, or do you usually stamp with just a single set? I'd love to know.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Saturday Everyone! I'm sharing a card today with a softer color scheme than I normally gravitate towards featuring some of the February Release products.
I stamped the image with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and colored with Prima watercolors(tropical, woodlands and terrain sets) and die cut out. I die cut a circle and a stitched edge rectangle panel from two pieces of white cardstock. I dry embossed the two pieces with my stencil and die cutting machine.
Next, I laid my stencil back over the rectangle panel and ink it up with salvaged patina and spun sugar distress oxide inks. Then, I cut a bit off the edge of the circle die cut and glued to the top of the inked up panel. I matted it with pink, attached to a white base and glue the floral image to the front. I stamped the sentiment with black, trimmed the end and popped up with foam tape. I added three white jewels to the front as the finishing touch
I hope you enjoyed today's card and thanks so much for stopping by!
Karen here with a fun owl card featuring a background made with the brand new Grunge Grid Stencil.
I created the background with the Grunge Grid Stencil along with Pixie Pink, Pink Passion and Melon Mambo inks on white cardstock. I die cut the background, matted with brown cardstock and attached to a white card base. I stamped the owl and sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment and attached to the stenciled panel. I colored the owl, fussy cut out and popped up with foam tape as seen. I die cut a small heart and inked it up with melon mambo ink. I glued the heart on the owl and added three small gems to finish the card.
My background piece came from a recent playtime. Be on the lookout during the rest of the month for how I use the other backgrounds.
I hope you enjoyed today's card and thanks so much for stopping by!
