Bombshells and 2Sketches4U

Since I am still resting up from my back-killer of a weekend I spent some time playing with my new stamps.

I was dying to use this whimsical frame and le bandit left I got from Just Johanna's Odd Bird Planet so when I saw Laura's sketch I just had to play along. Here's my card:



I've been really enjoying the different tones I get when I stamp on kraft paper instead of watercolor.

I also wanted to try out making a layered image using the A Pirate's Life and holiday accessories from Bombshell Stamps. This was a ton of fun because after I made her she seemed small and fairy-like. The boys even said,"aww, she's adorable." To play off of that, I used a large tree pattern from Basic Grey hopefully implying she's about three inches tall.

    These cards are so cute Nicole. You certainly acheived the look you were after with the second card, she looks so sweet and 'tiny'!

    How fun are these!

    I esp love the bombshell card. She looks great with that paper. I have it, and found it too challenging to use. I flipped it and used the solid side.
