Hi Friends. I couldn’t resist using one of the new stamp sets I received at the On Stage event, with the fabulous Stitched Shapes Framelits. And I do mean ‘fabulous’. I LOVE these framlets! Right now they are definitely my new favourite accessories. And I must say, they look so nice on my card:
I used the emboss resist technique with the “Oh So Succulent” stamp set (available Jan 4/17 for customers, Dec 1/16 for demonstrators – a good reason to join Stampin’ Up! and my “Serene Stampers” community!) “Oh So Succulent” is also a 2-step stamp set, which is always fun. This was a quick and easy card to make – I hope you like it!
