Just Breathe

Hello friends. Still clinging slightly too tightly to The Professor (CMS373) stamp set, I made a card also using another of my other fave sets from the March stamp release, Distinguished (CMS371).

The new wardrobe is dreamy and I stamped and fussy cut the traditional hat and coat-collar. It works beautifully over the lightbulb stamp from The Professor (CMS373) stamp set. That Lightbulb though… OH MY! <3

“like moths to a flame” (I couldn’t help myself), I was drawn back to the entomology (CMS328) stamp set and with the accompanying thinlits die set, it couldn’t be easier, especially as it fits through my sidekick, too easy not to!! Love my sidekick.

The snarky stickers are so so good. I’m going to use them more on my cards. These are from the original snarky small talk set. They’re mounted onto a piece of ruler leftover from another project. Keep those bits to use up later, it’s fun sifting through your bit box and it can often give you some unexpected inspiration.

I used a frame from my bit box that I had cut from metallic kraft stock, die cut with stitched rectangles thinlits die and embossed with the foundry 3D texture fades folder. I simply added alcohol ink to it and adhered with adhesive foam. I used the text stamp from the entomology (CMS328) set over the background, as well as the advert stamp from the distinguished (CMS371) set, love this stamp a lot! Stamped in hickory smoke and vintage photo distress archival ink.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you get some time to be creative this week.
