Yesterday,
I shared 3 cards that I created with a favorite Penny Black stamp set
that I have used many many times in the past.
The stamp set...BOTANICAL GARDEN...
The stamp set...BOTANICAL GARDEN...
is one of those stamp sets whose images are ALL wonderful.
So while I created the cards that I shared a few days ago...

I also had my eye on the larger image in that set...
(again...a stamp that I have used countless times)
(again...a stamp that I have used countless times)
and so...I thought that I'd create a few cards with that stamp as well.
Today's cards are Copic colored...
Once colored..I brushed each bloom with Clear Wink of Stella

for a soft shimmery look.
I die cut the images with a stitched rectangle die...

matted the die cut piece...
chose a soft water color look print for the largest layer...
Matted the print...
and
positioned the matted image piece with fun foam for added dimension.
I created the small matted sentiment pieces to complete each card
using the Penny Black SNIPPETS stamp set.

and...
this is what I wound up with...
I never have enough birthday cards on hand...
so I created 2 identical birthday cards to add to my card stash.
I am also always running out of Get Well cards
so I created one Get Well card.
and then...
I created one multi-purpose card
with a general "Just for You" sentiment.
I almost always create multiples of a card design...
with the same image...sometimes in an assortment of colors..sometimes the same color
and usually, with an assortment of sentiments.
For me..this is an enjoyable process.

I enjoyed creating this short stack of cards
with this favorite stamp
and I'm happy to add this little stack of cards to my card stash.

Good morning Michelle! I did see that, I was actually asking about the sentiments please. They aren't on that stamp set, are they?
DeleteOhhhhhh.....

It's a stamp set that I keep out at all times...it's got ton of small sentiments...
Truthfully...if a person only had one sentiment set an this was it...they'd be all set for card making for almost every ocasion.
