One of the fun things about Convention is swapping card samples with Demonstrators all across the country. My goal is to make at least 200 samples to trade, so I will come home with 200 new samples. I usually make 40-50 (I get bored after that) of 3 or 4 different cards. This is one of the cards that I will be swapping. This is a really fun set called "Celebrate Everything". There are 7 different words to go with the word celebrate. It is hard to see here, but I have used the 1/4" cream grosgrain ribbon and colored the edge with my Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped the background floral design with Versa Mark, and then stamped the flower over the "a" with Mellow Moss ink by using the "stamping off" technique. This is when you ink up your stamp and stamp it on a scrap first before stamping on your card. This creates a more subtle look. I didn't want the flower to overpower the word. I also added a brad in the center. The flower is from the "Always" set. The buckle is part of the new Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. I used my Reinker mixed with Crystal Effects to paint it. Cardstock colors are Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie and Very Vanilla. Ink colors are Pumpkin Pie and Mellow Moss.
I have 114 cards ( 3 different designs) done so far, and 21 more days until I'm off to Convention. I'll share another card with you tomorrow.
These sets will be available in the new catalog.
