I wanted to share a card I created using the BEAUTIFUL paper pack Skylark.
I used very little of the actual Skylark designer paper, but rather pulled in coordinating cardstock colors to complete this card! J The colors I used on this card are “my” colors. Greens, tans & neutrals can be used in SO MANY ways!!!
I pulled out my HANDY- DANDY how-to book…Make it From Your Heart vol 2, and decided to use pattern #20 for my card design.
I stamped the background of my card using the beautiful fern stamp that comes in this stamp set.
Next, I stamped the mountain image directly on top of the B&T (background & texture) paper!
Take a look at the two stamp sets I used to create this card.
D1601 New Zealand Greetings
Did you notice how I changed the wording on the tag?
Take a closer look at the tag in the stamp set above…
To change the wording on this ticket - Post-it Notes came in VERY handy!
I covered up the original ticket words “True To Life” with a post it note….inked up the stamp…took OFF the post it note, then stamped the ticket (without the wording) on my kraft ticket shape.
NEXT, I inked up the “Well Wishes” wording from the New Zealand Greetings stamp set, and stamped the words on the ticket!
Ta-da!! NEW wording on my ticket shape!!
