Howdy folks! Happy Monday! I am so excited today because Annette, the owner of About Art Accents, sent me an extra stamp set to give away to one of my blog readers! Here is a card I made with one of the images from the Best Day stamp set:
I used my stamping gear and a few small stamps to create my background and there was enough space in the center to stamp my couple. I wasn’t intending on stamping and coloring on this cheap Georgia Pacific cardstock but hey, it doesn’t look too bad for a 2 cent sheet of paper! I stamped the same flowers on a piece of masking tape, colored it and stuck it right on the card base. I stamped a small double happiness on a punched stamp square and adhered it with skeleton leaves over the tape. Pretty simple…I wonder if this counts as a one layer card?
So do you wanna win a set of 9 stamps from About Art Accents? Great! Just leave me a comment on this post telling my your favorite About Art Accents stamp…that’s it…really, no strings attached:) Although if you do feel compelled to do a bit of shopping at About Art Accents you can use the code Lindsay10% to save 10% off your order! They have a lot of good stuff on sale right now too! BTW, here is what the winner gets, I’ll draw a name out of a hat next monday so be sure to leave a comment before then!
Good luck & Happy Crafting!

Oh Wow Lindsay! I remember when you used this image for your anniversary card for your husband and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I was blown away not only by the gorgeous image but by how you colored it! It was so very romantic. This one my just very well be my favorite image. My other favorite is “Garden of Jojiu-In” b/c it reminds me of a local garden/park that I would frequently visit when we lived in Okinawa. Thanks for sharing! 😉

Beautiful card and love the way you can take everyday items and help people see the artistic beauty in them! I am learning to look at the bottom of my work as the beginning, so the Camellia Background is something I could see myself incorporating. So many times I have had to rip apart cards and layouts because I did not “begin at the beginning” 🙂 .

Peace & blessings to you,
