So Kind

Hello!

Months ago, my friend Becky Roberts, sent me over to check out this brand called The Stamp Market.  They have this perfect combination of elegant, cute, and beautifully simple stamps that I instantly adored.  And they have a bunch of really beautiful background stamps that help you to create the perfect backdrop for your cards in any color you want!  I recently placed an order that included a few of these stamps, and have to say, I'm even happier with them in person - and I've added several more to my wish list!

Today's card features two of The Stamp Market's stamp sets.  The Criss Cross Background Stamp, and the Bouquet of Kindness Stamp Set.  I love the contrast of a warm peachy-coral tone, and a cool blue, so that is the color palette I chose to work with on this card.

I began by stamping my background with Pool Play ink, onto a card front sized piece of card stock.  I then stamped my floral image onto white card stock, using the black amalgam ink (This is my new favorite ink for Copic coloring - I didn't even try to stay away from the edge with my markers, and no smears!)  I colored the image in with Copic markers, and then fussy cut the image - there is a coordinating die, but I don't mind a little fussy cutting!

Copic Colors Used:

YG03, YG17, YG67, YG99

E50, R01, R22, R24, E08

E13, E29, E37

I stamped the "So Kind" sentiment in Catalina Splash ink, onto Pool Play card stock.  Then, I stamped and heat embossed the "You've Been" sentiment stamp, onto a strip of vellum.  I layered my elements together onto the card front, making sure that the fussy cut leaves tucked under and over the Pool Play strip.  I attached the card front to my card base with foam squares, and then added a few scattered Fashion Gold pieces to carry the gold from the embossing into another element.

I hope you enjoyed this card.  Be sure to check out The Stamp Market - you might just fall in LOVE with their backgrounds like I did (That Woodgrain!  That Jumbo Plaid!), and their other stamp sets too!

Thanks for stopping by!
