Hello Friends, It’s me again 🙂 How was your weekend?? Mine hasn’t happened yet so I can’t say lol. I’m drafting this post because we are moving our son into his first apartment at school! EXCITING!
My last post I created a card with this same stamp “Simply Ornamental”. I love to stamp my backgrounds..I find it fun to create with matching ink to paper. You might notice that I colored the ornament with a Copic marker and I was careful to leave the feathering to give it an artistic look. For the loop on the ornament I used paper clip & taped it onto the back then applied glossy accents.
I love to layer these skirts. The top layer I cut like grass. I think this die is the grand labels one.
This is another catalog card and another stamped background. I love the way a stamped background really highlights the main image. I used clear embossing powder on white paper then distressed. (see supply list below) I also stamped the patterns on the jacket and the stack of presents. Making faux fur is so easy. Just dot several browns and black then go over it with brown. Easy right? The two buttons on the back of the jacket are enamel accents.
I scored the lines to create the tile floor and stamped in the middle of the squares. The sentiment are from this transparent set from here for both of these cards. Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. I forgot to mention that I have been using the Copic X-Press paper and really enjoying blending with ease.

I love your layers… and how your images pop off the page. Super Special! LOVE IT~
Hope everything went well with the move. Love the shine on that green bauble & that paperclip hanger is such a brilliant idea. The inked resist background is so effective – especially the way you have used patterns with common elements so that the parcels pick up on the background.
