CardMaker Magazine & Quietfire Design Blog Hop ~ Card & Gift Tag

Hello, it's Gaylynn with two matching projects for the blog hop with CardMaker Magazine and Quietfire Design.


I want to extend thanks to Suzanne Cannon with Quietfire Design store for sponsoring this wonderful hop.  These beautiful red rubber cling stamps are designed and lettered by Suzanne.

No automatic alt text available.

I get to make something pretty with her sentiment stamps.
And so, for the handmade card and gift tag, I made a mixed media style base in watercolor and with wet embossing using a houndstooth stencil.

Once dry, I blended two colors of distress ink onto the background.  To soften the look, I added a heat embossed vellum sentiment panel.  It was what I was going for, perfect for Christmas, yet in alternative colors.

Here are the stamp sets that I used in my projects.

Here is a closer look at the card:

    Love the use of the vellum.
    It tones down the background
    and makes a great base for the
    sentiment.
    thanks for sharing.

    It's really cool how you used non-traditional colors for a Christmas project with great results. A great sentiment from Quietfire.

    The use of the stencil, Distress inks, and vellum showcase the sentiment. Adding a tag to the mix - nice touch!
