Good morning!!
Today, I created a card for the Inspired by Stamping blog.
I love sentiments!! A card is never complete without one. Many of the Inspired by Stamping stamp sets, have small sentiments and if you have a healthy collection of stamps, then you know that, the smaller stamps seem to get lost or forgotten about.
Well my card today is showing you a way to use those smaller sentiments, to dress up pre-bought die cut embellishment. The two ornaments on my card, were from an embellishment pack that coordinates with the patterned paper on my card. These ornaments had a 2-layers flower on it, when it came in the package. I gently removed the flower , being careful not to tear the paper. After picking the sentiments, I stamped/embossed with gold embossing powder. After they cooled down, I cut them into strips, adhered them to the die cut and trimmed the edges. I added dimensional pearls around the top and bottom of the strip to add a tad bit of interest. I did not want it to look ‘flat’!
Here is a close up.
I hope that you are having a great weekend and beating the crowds at the mall.
