And now I want to share with you what I made using the Because of You Clear Stamp Set. I started out by creating an alcohol inked background. I trimmed it down just a fraction and attached it to a pink background.
Using the same pink card stock, I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder. Then I used a white gel pen to create a white stitched border. I added a few strips of foam tape to the back of the sentiment to give it a little dimension.
I attached it all to a top folding card base. And that’s it!! The background took the longest to create but after that, this card went together very quickly.
I made a second card using the same stamp set.
For this card, I started out on a piece of Bristol Smooth Card Stock and ink blended a little Wilted Violet distress ink. Then I embossed the You Matter background stamp with clear embossing powder. I ink blended more Wilted Violet so that the embossed image would stand out a little more.
I die cut the background using a Stitched Rectangle die by Lawn Fawn.
I took a strip of Vellum and white heat embossed the sentiment. I made sure the vellum was long enough to wrap around the the background so that I wouldn’t have to have any glue on the front.
I sprayed the background with Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Sparkle to give it a beautiful sparkly glow. To finish it off, I added it all to a top folding card base and attached a few Clear Round Drops by Studio Katia.
That’s it for me today! Don’t forget to head to the Simon Says Stamp Blog and check out all the inspiration featuring products from the STAMPtember release.
