So... let's play with something from the Occasions Catalog.
The stamp set is called You're So Lovely (140762) on page 32 from the Occasions Catalog and is a 12 piece Photopolymer set. I love the font on the little "enjoy your day" that I stamped over and over on the background. Being Photopolymer, it was so easy to stamp and make it look great!
Recipe:
Rose Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4" and 3 1/8" x 3 1/8"
Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4" and 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Crumb Cake 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" (for embossing folder) and 5 1/4" x 4" for inside.
Crumb Cake die cut with 2 3/8" die (I think the 5th one up from the smallest)
Basic Black - punched with 2 1/2" Circle Punch
Ink: Rose Red and Soft Suede - I thought it would show up better than the matching Crumb Cake.
I made the bow by wrapping twine around two fingers and then around three fingers. Then I pulled off the twine and pinched it together in the middle, then tying it with more twine. I'll take pictures and show you in another post. Attach it with a mini gluedot.
Tomorrow I think I'll try it again with Melon Mambo. For now, it's time to post and get some sleep! It's past midnight here. I guess my late work hours are still hanging with me.
Thank you for looking in today! Happy Weekend ~ Donna
The "enjoy your day" is so fun stamped over and over tone on tone for a wonderful background. Why don't I do that more often. It is fun and really cool looking! I like how you made the "bow" too and have done that before but not recently. I like the colors you chose too. The EF was another fun touch. CAn you tell I love texture? I will be looking at some of my stamp sets to see if there are any stamps that would make a fun background - yours looks perfect with the fun script. I hope everyone takes the extra minute to look at each photo enlarged for the details - you constantly amaze me!

I can't believe I didn't comment to your comment! Ack!
ReplyDeleteI saw the idea of putting words into a background somewhere and fell in love with it. I want to do it with other sentiments as well. Seems like it would be a lot of fun to see what sets will work well together!
Thank you for lifting my spirits with your nice comments.
