Peel better soon card

Hi all!

I wanted to share a card I made last night with a new stamp from Technique Tuesday. I'm also entering this card for the latest challenge at the Simon Says Stamp and Show. Their challenge was to use a small stamp or just a little stamping. Here's my card:

Since this is for a guy, I chose more masculine colors and a simple sketch. The pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye. I used the apothecary label from Simon Says Stamp! and put the little monkey on there with versafine ink. I then colored him in with my inktense pencils. My small stamp? The sentiment! I usually have big sentiments on my cards but this one is teeny! But it is just so cute when paired with this little monkey! Super easy and fast to make...in fact, I may just make a few and have them on hand.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Playing with my favorite stamp!

Hi friends!

Please forgive me for the long absence! Life has been hectic but seems to be slowing down a bit now. How has your summer been so far?

Today I'm sharing with you a card I made using my new favorite Hero Arts stamp, Leafy Vines. I LOVE this stamp! I had been wanting it for awhile. I'll be entering it in the A Blog Named Hero challenge (use your favorite stamp) and also the Simon Says Stamp and Show (anything goes). Here's the card and the challenge badge.

Isn't this stamp beautiful?! And when you add the silver embossing to it, it just comes alive! Since the stamp is rather large and the main focus of the card, I chose to simply add a couple of vellum butterflies and then the sentiment. I used the apothecary labels from Simon Says Stamp! and one of the coordinating sentiments from that set. I heat embossed the sentiment, too, and the card was done. An easy card to make--but so elegant!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! :)
