Stamp Simply without stamps!
Posted: October 16, 2008 Filed under: Designer Paper 14 CommentsNot quite “no stamps at all” just no picture stamps!
The current Stamp Simply challenge is quite a thrill for me as I am Sharon’s co-host this week. Last month when Sharon was having a bonanza of blog candy and competitions my name was chosen. This meant that I came up with the challenge, which is to make a card without using picture stamps. So I refrained from reaching for the Christmas trees, snowflakes, flowers or leaves. The only type of stamps allowed are sentiment or background stamps.
I decided to feature designer paper instead and pulled out the Certainly Celery paper from a year or so back which is covered in pretty designs. As soon as I did I started thinking of fabric swatches again and ended up with the shabby chic design above. I distressed the edges of each piece of designer paper and then found a piece of white lace to fit in with the fabric theme. I stamped the sentiment in versamark and embossed in white before adding a little white eyelet. The sentiment is from the Upsy Daisy set.
Make sure you visit Sharon’s talented design team members’ blogs and see what they came up with.
