Qbee's Quest: Stamp A Card ... just for fun
I finally had some time yesterday afternoon to use my new sizzlits and embosslits with the Big Shot. It's been a long time since I just let my imagination flow to make a card that came out of my head. It's hard to tell, but the bashful blue card front is textured with the swirly leaves from the Backgrounds I Texturz Plates, and the flowers and leaves are sponged to give them more depth. The corner triangles are a 3" square cut on the diagonal.
Stamps: Short & Sweet
Paper: Bashful Blue, Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Mellow Moss, Delicate Dots DP
Ink: So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Mellow Moss
Accessories: 1/2" Bashful Blue Striped Grosgrain, 1/4" Bashful Blue Grosgrain, So Saffron Brads, Big Shot, SU Little Leaves Sizzlit, SU Cherry Blossom Embosslit, SU Backgrounds I Texturz Plates, Piercer, Mat & Template, Sponge Daubers, three for you flower punch
