Hi everyone ....... some of you might remember a few weeks ago when I posted the news that High Hopes Stamps had named their new owl stamp after me .... they called it "Frances Owl". Of course I was very excited about this .... who wouldn't be having someone name a stamp after them! Well I received my stamps the other night and just had to play with my name sake owl ... isn't she just soooooooooo cute .... I just love it!
This week's tutorial on SCS is a Flap card ... as that was in my email last night I decided I would use my Frances Owl stamp to make one of those, you can find the tutorial here. These are fun and very easy to make.
I used my circle nestabilities to create my circles layers. The sentiment is normally in one line ... so I masked part of it while I stamped just the portions I needed on each line and then used a bookplate to attach it to my flap card.
Here is the inside of my flap card ... I haven't stamped anything inside as yet ... I will probably add a nice verse and maybe some flowers ... but for now I just wanted you guys to be able to see how this card looks when opened.
