Congrats to Nancy, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS319)! What a fabulous gallery! After much browsing, I chose her Inspired to Create to case. I kept the same layout, but turned it upright, used different images and different colors.
The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. I started by stamping the sentiment once w/ the pink ink then overstamping w/ the black ink. I didn’t try to get it exact..just eyeballed it. I like the light pink shadow it gives. After die cutting w/ a circle die, I backed it w/ a black die cut circle and a larger one with the crocheted background stamped in the pink ink. For the final layer, I stamped the crocheted circle the same way I did the sentiment, then die cut using the matching crocheted circle die.
On the side panel, I again stamped the crocheted bg in pink then trimmed the right edge w/ scissors. For the crocheted border, I did the same as the sentiment and die cut it w/ the matching border die. I added a bow made w/ two ribbons and a mini bowdabra, some black gems and then used the black enamel accents down the border and around the circle. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Congrats again, Nancy! Enjoy your week!
