There are some really versatile new stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue, one that I am loving is Amazing Birthday, here’s a card we made with it in class last week. It’s quite simple in terms of colours and layering, but with the textured embossing, sponging on the outer edges and hand drawn stitching it ends up having a really nice finished effect don’t you think?
The overall finished look of this card changes depending upon which way you layer the textured embossing panel and also if you used rhinestones instead of mini silver brads, but I was going for a masculine look, so no bling or ribbon!
The awesome bonus is that in clear mount this stamp set with 7 stamps in it is only $25.95!! I seriously thought it was a misprint – but it’s not, talk about great value!
