Recently, I needed to send two anniversary cards, a birthday card and a graduation card. Since time to stamp my own projects has been limited, I decided to use the set Branch Out for all three occasions. I have been admiring Michelle Zindorf's work for quite some time, so I thought I would finally try my hand at sponging a hillside scene.
Stamp Sets: Branch Out, Sense of Time
Card Stock: Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories: Stampin' Sponges, Elegant Eggplant 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
To create the look of the hillside, just tear a post-it note, adhere it to the upper portion of the card and sponge below it. I used Old Olive and Certainly Celery ink for my hillside colors.
I used the sentiment from the set Sense of Time for the graduation and anniversary cards. For the birthday card, I used the sentiment from Great Friend which I inked up with markers (Old Olive for the small type and Elegant Eggplant for the word friend.)
I like the way they turned out so much that I think I will carve out some time to sit down and stamp a stack of them without sentiments to keep on hand for any occasion.
