Hey, everyone!!! So happy to be here with you today! This is the first chance I've had to craft since taking my new job...and it sure felt good to take a little crafty break! So, thanks so much for dropping in! I'm sharing a project from a new Precious Remembrance set called 'New Day'...
Love it!...It's so {positive}!!! I've used my favorite sentiment from the set...
Isn't that sweet? (Makes me think of my little girl;) Here's the card...
...bright and cheery, just like the set...and super simple to make! I stamped and cut the sentiment strip and eyed-up where I wanted to place it on the front panel. Then, I just started in the center of the panel with the brush stroke image, and repeated it several times to create the sunburst, making sure to stamp it low enough that the sentiment strip would cover the 'rough' center where each stroke began. (There are actually two different shades of orange on each brush stroke, with the darker one on the bottom half and the lighter one on the outer ends.) I then sponged the darker shade of ink across the bottom portion of the card so that the sentiment would really pop. I popped it up with foam adhesive and added the little jewels, and that was that!!!
And...great news if you like the idea of this new set...one will be given away at the Precious Remembrance blog to a lucky visitor. After visiting the designer's blogs, head to Precious Remembrance by this Sunday and comment. A random visitor will be picked to receive a set of 'New Day':)
If you got here via the Hop...you came here from Guest Designer, Judy's blog and just need to head to Precious Remembrance to finish up. If you would like to start from the beginning, just head on over to PR to see the entire list of blogs (only 9, including me and PR!) and get all the give away details.
Thanks so much for dropping in, and enjoy!!!
