ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS...


Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend! Don't forget, it's Stamptember over at Simon Says Stamp and I really hope you'll join us for a month long stamp party full of inspiration and celebrations. It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Whether you stick with STAMPtember stamping or mix it up and pull out a stencil - this week we want to see how you stamp or stencil your way into crafty fun this week!
I was inspired to create a mixed media style card using both stamps and a stencil:
I love t0 create layers on my projects using both stamps and stencils. This week, I inked up a fun sentiment from Apothecary Labels surrounded it with various flowers including die cut roses.
For the background, I combined a variety of Distress Inks and added texture and design using the Latticework stencil.
Thank you for visiting! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has created!
Be Sweet ;)
