I always mean to stamp more on patterned paper. This particular bird stamp is perfect for the distressed look of this paper. After coloring in the bird, I edged the borders with distress inks and you’d almost think this block was printed just as it is.
I’m quite fond of the card I made for today because it’s whimsical and makes me grin. Plus it has the cutest little whale and fish dies!
If you get the Memory Box Simple Buckles die set, you can make your own buckle by adding pearls to the die!
Memory Box just released its latest collection, and today I’ve made a card featuring two of the new stamps! I also tried some new things on this card and was fairly pleased with my results.
I used Inktense watercolor pencils for the first time; and
I decided to dry emboss and ink my focus image after I had stamped and colored it.
