Hey Y'all!
Have you ever had one of those moments where you felt like the spotlight should shine and you hear a choir singing "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh". I had one of those moments when I made this card.
Now I am going to be honest with you. I almost didn't get this stamp set. It wasn't on my list. I don't know why, it just didn't jump out at me. But I had an order that I earned some Sale-A-Bration products, and I had already ordered the things I wanted, so I added it. And I am so glad I did!! The pictures do not do this stamp justice. This is a patent-pending technique called "Distinktive" (isn't that just cool how they did that, DistINKtive) that adds different layers of ink to a stamp giving it that amazing look of depth.
That image is stamped just one time, y'all. And guess what I stamped it on! A piece of that absolutely gorgeous Wood Textures DSP! (No rush, but the 2017-18 Annual Catalog goes away May 31, and that paper will probably be going as well. If you want it, you better get it and get it soon! Don't say I didn't warn ya....) And y'all know me, I hardly ever make a card without an embossing folder being involved, and the Pinewood Plank did the trick!
I stamped the image with Crumb Cake Ink all around the perimeter of the Crumb Cake layer, then ran it through the Big Shot to emboss it. I also did a third-generation stamp of the image (third-generation is just fancy talk meaning I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper 2 times) then stamped the image on the tag. I love the rustic look of this card! And that Gingham Ribbon just sets it off.
Nina's Cardmaking Rule: The inside of a handmade card should be just as beautiful as the outside!
Here are the measurements to make this card:
