Hope you are all enjoying your day!
After creating all my projects for Sister Stamps last week, I was inspired to pick up my copics again. I inked up SNS Betsy.
I remembered a card that my "neighbor", Donna, had made 2 years ago and had to revisit her blog to find it. Click {HERE} to see Donna's gorgeous card! Knowing that I wanted to somehow CASE Donna's card, I had to "fussy cut" Betsy. I inked up just the sparklers and stamped it on the card stock. Using the starburst/fireworks image from Paper Smooches Metropolis set, I stamped random areas with Versamark, added clear embossing powder, and heat embossed the cardstock. Now it was time to distress all around the cardstock with Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire. It definitely made it easier for me to distress and darken areas without a colored image present. Once satisfied, I adhered Betsy in her right place. The sentiment from PTI was stamped on a cut cardstock using the circle clip from the Clip It Kits from Lifestyle Crafts. Voila!!! All done!!!
Well, I'll be spending my 4th of July evening with some of my girlfriends for dinner and a movie - - Magic Mike. YIKES!! Do I really want to see this movie? My hubby will be home with the kiddos so I can enjoy some girl bonding time. I don't get that very often so I'm taking full advantage of it! :)
Anyway, Happy 4th and stay safe!
This is beautiful, Mama! Love the circle clip!
