I had a moment of quiet this afternoon during which I was able to sit down and focus for a bit on stamping. I feel a little bit adrift without an anchor at this time of year in terms of crafting. I find making Christmas cards so all-consuming that when faced with a blank slate I'm really at a loss. To get my brain back into crafting mode I took a look through the most recent issue of "Stampin' Success" (our demonstrator magazine) and found inspiration with the "Happy Congratulations" stamp set. It is a new set out of the Occasions Catalogue and is super simple to use to make a pretty little card.
Simple stamp with a black ink. I used Basic Black and then used the lower setting on my embossing tool to dry the ink. Then I stamped the individual lanterns using Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe and Crushed Curry inks. I've been itching to use my Banners Framelits and wasn't disappointed (yes, perfect banners in one easy step!).
Finally, here's a shot of my stamping space....any bets on how long it will stay like this? Those that really know me know it won't be long....lol : )
Happy Stamping!
