I'm not sure which of 6 stamp sets exclusive to Sale-a-bration 2013 is my favorite yet but Vintage Verses is certainly in the running. It's words work for a lot of everyday occasions and the images themselves play nicely with oh, so many shapes and diecuts.
I'm also proud of myself for actually using the one-of-a-kind elements from Artisan Embellishments. So often I have a tendency to hoard them. Here's how my creative process worked on this card, with a little help from SCS's Inspiration Challenge:
- This time I started with a small portion of the Artisan Embellishment Kit's scalloped lace on top of Very Vanilla card stock.
- I tied it with a scrap of Very Vanilla seam binding to make it a little more 3-D...
- and then the small vanilla rose, also from the kit, just kind of drew itself to the card like a magnet.
- Though this was very pretty all by itself, it still needed a message. The windows framelit worked best and Vintage Verse's Just Because fit that piece perfectly.
- In order to make the message pop, I added a layer of a Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla pattern from the Print Poetry DSP Stack.
- Use Stampin' Dimensionals to mount the whole piece and a Very Vanilla card.
