Thinking of You

>> Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Hi Everyone,

Well, my youngest niece is moved into her dorm for her freshman year in college, so I decided to make a card to put into her care package. Now I just need to get stuff for the actual package :)

This Teacher Tools image, with its elementary school look was a great throwback image for the card today. I chose primary colors for the color palette, which echos the theme of the stamp itself and the Lines O Plenty made a great textured background. Since I liked the apple in the image, I chose to do the spotlight technique, and really highlighted it by adding some Stickles. I completed it with the Vertical Thinking of You stamped in black.

And as a special treat (ha ha!) I will give you a peek at one of the new Halloween stamps that will soon be released at DRS Designs.


I used the new Witching You A Spooky Halloween stamp, colored and layered on a yellow circle to simulate her flying by the moon.  I embossed the card base and layered a piece of black card stock that was stamped with the Spooky Eyes background.  The pearl flourish was a good match for the background and I finished it off with a printed ribbon and some die cut bats.  Good and spooky for Halloween!

Thanks for stopping by!
