Hugs & Smiles

This card is a totally different style for me.  In fact, I'm not really quite sure how it turned out to look like this! LOL!!  I based the sketch off of the Mojo Monday #155 sketch.


Here is the sketch I was working from:



To create the bottom portion, I stamped an image from Guide Lines 2 in Spring Rain ink on Lemon Tart cardstock.  Then, I stamped the little circle leaf bracket-like images in Spring Moss.  Then, I stamped the same image I stamped in Spring Rain earlier, with VersaMark ink in the blank spaces and took yellow Pebbles Shimmer chalk and rubbed it over the image.  Then, I took some purple chalk and rubbed it over the center of the images.  It makes kind of a vintagey looking paper.


Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!!

Wow! This is really pretty! I love your vintage-y patterned paper! Very pretty! Looks like lots of steps to get that look! It is so worth it! And do I see an image cut out? OMG Jen! You are out of your box today! Love it!

The patterned paper you created for the bottom is stunning! So soft and beautiful. I never think to stamp on colored cardstock. And how clever of you to use the chalks with Versamark, I will have to remember that when I don't have the right color of ink!
