Welcome to our February issue of Di’s Country INKers blog hop! Did you enjoy what Diana had to show you?
It’s Sale-a-Bration time and I’ve been playing with some of my new FREE stamps! As soon as I saw the heart-shaped vapor trail in the Sky is the Limit stamp set, I knew what the first card I made with it would be – a Valentine! Take a look:
I started with a base of Basic Grey and layered it with Real Red and a Basic Grey striped panel from the Neutrals DSP stack. On the 5″ x 3″ main panel, I stamped the airplane and greeting in Basic Grey, and the vapor trail was stamped in Smoky Slate. I used a blender pen and Real Red classic ink to color in the body of the airplane. The ‘Valentine’ stamp is from a retired set called Something to Celebrate. I stamped it in Real Red on a banner of Whisper White, and layered that over a slightly larger Real Red banner. I shaped it with my bone folder and wrapped a little silver cording around the left edge. I like how it looks as if it’s fluttering in the wind! The final touch was to add a little Wink of Stella glimmer to the heart in the vapor trail. Here’s a closer look at the pretty shimmer:
As if there aren’t already some wonderful items in the Sale-a-Bration catalog that you can get for free, on February 15th there will be a few new items added! With every $50 in product ordered (before tax/shipping) you get to choose one award – doesn’t get much better than free!
