Hi and happy Monday! Today I made a card using Asela's new stamp set, Friendship's Garden and the new free with three set, Notes to Mom.
I also played along with the featured stamper challenge at SCS. The featured stamper was Kathy (aka Wattle) and I chose this card for inspiration. Participants were to change at least two things. I changed the colors, used a rectangle instead of oval, used DP instead of embossed background, moved the sentiment.
Here are the details...

Unfortunately, I dropped the lid to the ink right on my image and left one big line of ink above the sentiment and a few smudges under it. I almost tossed it, but I decided to try to save it. I started by scraping the bad line above the sentiment with my craft knife. If you do this, be sure your ink is absolutely dry, or it will smudge even worse. The picture above shows it after I used the craft knife.

One thing to note... Because I used Stazon ink to stamp the sentiment, I was able to go back in and sponge. If I had used my Memento, or SU dye ink, it would have smeared the sentiment. I frequently choose Stazon for my sentiments when sponging because it is very black and I sometimes like to go back and add some sponging as I work.

I used Nestabilities to cut the main image and the scalloped layer behind it. The striped DP is Basic Gray Eva and the pretty pink paper in the background is from Emily Giovanni's latest digital paper pack, Softly Spring. I also used Kiwi Kiss (Stampin' Up) and Pure Luxury Black Onyx for layers and Pretty in Pink (SU) for the card base.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great day!
