I would like to share with you today a super cutie! I founds this adorable stamp set at my local scrapbook store made by Stampendous. I love the them for they stamp very clean and sharp! The sentiment in the set was "Scooting by to say hi" and I cut off the "hi". Even though it is cut off from the phrase you could still use it by lining the edges up on your acrylic stamping block.
I was commissioned to make a birthday card for a lady who turned 84 years young today! Since her birthday is February 29, She has had 21 actual birthdays!! Most of my card idea is from casing a card at my local stamp store: Photo Scraps in Eldersburg, MD
The sky was sponge with Memento Ink, sky blue.
The gate is a Memory Box Die Cut: Wrought Iron Gate
Copics. Scooter: YR24, YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00, Tires C5, C3, C1
Diamond Glaze is a dimensional adhesive that dries to a clear glass-like finish,.
I added it to the metal sections of the bike
Inside
TIP OF THE DAY: Diamond glaze is water based. I am able to dilute the glaze with water and add glitter or Stickles to it and apply it with a paint brush. You end up with a very shiny, glittery hard surface.
