A Special Note

Posted by Venus and Luanne @ Sisters Craft Cafe on January 10, 2012 in handmade cards, October Afternoon, Sketch Challenge, The Craft's Meow, Venus' Posts,

My new stamps from THE CRAFT'S MEOW has finally arrived! I ordered them online last December. Being miles away from USA, packages arrive several weeks later. So, it's  exciting when the package finally arrive. Here's a card I made from the set "Sent with Love" ...

I love the vintage typewriter stamp and the cursive sentiment!
I grouped the two stamps together on a block and stamped them at once on a paper, then cut into a circle.
I inked the edges of the circle using Brilliance pigment ink. Other embellishments used were a button, which I sewed on a punched star, stick on gems, and a wavy blue ribbon.

For this card, I used October Afternoon Seaside Paper Pad . The papers are so lovely - the map, checkered stripes, and the scallop banner. Here, check the 8x8 papers. The papers are thick enough, I was able to do some distressing on the edges without tearing the sheet.

Here's one inspiring card from DANNIE REID

I used the sketch over at The Crafts Meow December-January Card Challenge
