Welcome to our June Hop where we are Steppin' It Up. We start with a basic quick card and add a little for our next card and then a bit more
for our last card.
I have used the Hey Girlfriend stamp set that was inspired by April Lopez for her Million Sales set and it is retiring at the end of June insert sad face here)
My first card is a basic quick and easy card but since I am colouring with our fabulous Stampin' Blends and they bleed through the card stock, I stamped and coloured my girl on a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White and attached it to a standard Thick Whisper White card base. The sentiment is from You are Amazing, love the bold fonts.
My second card adds just two items, a Polished Pink mat and I outlined our girlfriend image with my light Pool Party Blend so that she pops off the background.
For my last card I used the same Polished Pink mat but ran it through my Stampin'Cut & Emboss Machine with the Painted Texture folder to add texture to the mat and then attached it to the card skewed and down my image panel so more of the mat is exposed. My girl I stamped, coloured changing up the shirt to just have dots of Polished Pink and then fussy cut her and popped up on dimensionals and finished with a couple of Artistry Blooms Adhesive backed sequins.
Three cards using the same colours and images but just a few changes, which one is your favourite?
Now onto Sharon's blog and see what she has created for us.
And if you get lost along the way, here are all the participants.
Great cards ! Thank you for sharing !
