Love the Here and Now!

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.  Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our challenge hostess for the month of July which is Andrea Murdock.

For our challenge this week Andrea has told us to Let’s get Wordy! Use a sentiment as the main focus of your card

For my card today I am using MFT Stamps Chalkboard Greetings stamp set. I stamped the sentiment onto Black card stock using versamark ink and then embossed it using white embossing powder. On either side of the sentiment I used the MPD Delicate Doily stencil and White Brilliance ink to add some decoration. I also sponged on a little white ink and then spritz the black card with MIX-ables Steel Shimmer Mist (that is the specks you might be able to see in the image above …  it isn’t white embossing powder it’s the shimmer which the camera picked up a little.)

For the inside of my card I have stamped another of the sentiments from the Chalkboard Greetings stamp set. At the bottom of the card I have used the Washi Patterns stamp set and Die-namics Washi Tape.
