I love the sketches at Freshly Made Sketches. They are fun, modern and 'fresh' :) After doing a Christmas card on Monday and prepping a few Christmas classes I needed to do something different.
Even though it's fall, I wanted to do something bright and cheery. So I pulled out my Melon Mambo Embossing Powder, one of my fave stamp sets Just Believe, our lovely Hostess Cheerful Treat Designer Series Paper and made this fresh, flowery card. Don't you just love the Limeade DSP with Melon Mambo polka dots? I love this DSP ~ so many fabulous patterns to choose from!
Tips & Tricks:
*Love the new colored embossing powders? Rub some Embossing Buddy over your card stock before embossing to avoid little flecks of embossing powder in places other than your image.
*When using a lot of the same colors for bases and backgrounds, use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up your images a bit and to add contrast.
*Sometimes I make a card without an intended recipient. So I leave it blank and then it can be anything I want it to be :)
Can't wait to stamp something a bit more seasonal again tomorrow but I've gotta mix it up sometimes. 'Til then, keep letting stamps bring out your creativity!
