Secret Stamp Challenge

 

Today I am showcasing a card made with a new to me stamp set that was gifted to me by Kelly.  AND--she sent a different stamp set to Jeanette and also kept a third set for herself.  So--the three of us, Jeanette, Kelly and me are posting cards from a new challenge called Secret Stamp Challenge.

The stamp set I received from Kelly is from Hanna Stamps and is Garden themed.  In the note Kelly sent along with the set, she taught of me as we have a greenhouse.  Every spring we start seeds in the house, under grow lights and then move the tiny plants to the greenhouse.  We usually start seeds around the end of March and move them to the greenhouse in early May.  The vegetables and flowers then get planted outside over Memorial Day Weekend.  Thanks for thinking of me and our gardens Kelly.

I first decided I would make a slim-line card so I can show off many of the sweet images. I picked out pre-cut slim-line items from The Paper Cut, a white cardbase, a green layer and a black 3 square overlay. I out foam tape under the black so there was some depth when adding the images.   I stamped the lady gardener (I wish I was that thin.................) along with many of her accessories with Hero Arts Intense Black ink.  I then colored all of the images with my Copic Sketch Markers.   I then fussy cut all of the images and placed them around the window squares. I picked a fun sentiment from my sentiment box and die cut it with a Waffle Flower Dotted Labels Die.  I added some lime green sequins in each of the squares.    I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card! 

I cannot wait to see the cards and the theme for the other two ladies!  Please check out the other blogs.   Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of cute cards with fun themes.  Again--Thank You Kelly for sending me this fun stamp set.  AND--for a Secret Stamp Challenge.  Who Knows--maybe more to come in 2025!
