When I saw this stamp set by Casual Fridays Stamps, I simply had to have it. I love that Treble Clef, and the verses in the set are perfect.
My card today is for the Cas-ual Fridays Stamps Card Challenge.
The stamp set I used is called Big Treble, and the die is also from Cas-ual Fridays Fri-Dies. I love when a die coordinates with a stamp set...it just expands the possibilities!
For my card, I used a white card stock panel, and with my Clarity stencil brush, I softly added some Tim Holtz distress ink in abandoned coral, starting fairly dark, and fading softly to white at the bottom. I stamped that amazing verse on it with the same ink. The verse is actually one stamp, I just inked the top part, stamped it, cleaned off the stamp, then stamped the bottom part.
For the treble clef and hearts, I used the Big Treble die. I used the same die to cut the extra hearts, just using that part of the die.
A little crystal clear sparkle from my Spectrum Noir sparkle brush, and some Pretty Pink Posh droplets finish the card.
The challenge is to use coral, aqua, and gray. I may not have tried these colors together were it not for this challenge, but I love how they complement each other. I like the way they work together.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you had a good start to your week.

Today's card is for the Impression-Obsession Challenge - Fun with flowers. I decided to keep it clean and simple, and one layer. I used several Impression-Obsession stamps, including Berry Branch, Solid Berry Sprig, Kahlil Gibran Quote, Butterfly Bliss, and Ornate Borders.
Other materials:
Tim Holtz distress inks
Clarity stencil brush
Stencil from my stash
I created the background first by brushing lightly over the stencil with my distress inks and Clarity stencil brush. Then I colored the stamps with distress inks directly from the mini ink pads, and stamped them over the background. I added the ornate border along the left edge to balance the images, and to give the impression of a layer.
I know these are berry stamps, but I thought they looked like flowers, and could be used as such. Hopefully the fine folks at IO agree.
Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you tomorrow.
Blessings,
lynda
