Today is Day #1, and even though it is Christmas, I decided to go with a general card theme.
The stamp set from Unity that I used is called In Love With Love (KOM 6/14). I used brown ink for the stamps. The patterned papers are from G45's Home Sweet Home collection.
I made two cards, reversing the color scheme. The dies I used on this card include GMD scalloped stitched rectangle and stitched rectangle dies and Cottage Cutz stitched oval die.
Here is a close up of that pretty image stamp.
I embellished with Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine and white pearls.

ReplyDeleteLove the design! kinda has that old fashion kitchen feel to it <3
ReplyDeleteYou offer an interesting way to use brown as your image color. It’s much softer than always using black.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy card!!!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful card. The paper choices just showcase the stamp without detracting from it. I need to take a cue and stamp on patterned paper more. I am always fearful that doing so will detract but I think you have given me the courage to try.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, sunny, country card. It makes me happy just to look at it!
ReplyDeleteI love this card just elegant! Beautiful country card just puts a smile on your face
ReplyDeleteLove the patterned papers you chose. That stitched rectangular die is a must have too. I’ve never stamped in brown before because I thought it was too drab. Thanks for showing me how to make it work!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful clean and simple card. Like you reversing your background colors for the second card.
ReplyDeleteI love them both :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. I like the papers you used and the image stamped in brown ink.
