February 4, 2023 Brighter Days Ahead CLR285 Stamps

Hey everybody! Well, we busted through another week and it's Saturday again! But that's not a bad thing, is it?! Leslie here, with another card featuring the oh-so-gorgeous Brighter Days Ahead stamp set which I absolutely love. Besides the amazing focal image, there are tons of sentiments! A couple days ago I shared a paper-pieced card created with it, so I colored the image on this one with alcohol markers. It's difficult trying to achieve texture with markers but I think I did okay! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card from ivory cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I stamped the image from the Brighter Days Ahead stamp set in brown ink on a lighter weight ivory cardstock and masked the lower right corner of the image. I traced the rounded corner of the card base onto the image, and colored it with alcohol markers. I stamped the sentiment and added several flat sequins which completed the card.

February 2, 2023 Brighter Days Ahead CLR285 Stamps

Hey everybody! I hope you're having a fabulous week! Leslie here, with a beautiful uplifting card to share with you today that I created with stamps from the gorgeous Brighter Days Ahead stamp set. I did quite a bit of paper piecing with colored cardstock on this CAS-ish card and I wish you could run your fingers over it and feel all the texture! I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from ivory cardstock. I stamped the focal image from the Brighter Days Ahead stamp set on the card base in brown ink and then six more times - once on yellow, light brown, medium brown, darker brown, medium green and dark green cardstock. Then the fun began fussy cutting each element or section and adhering them to the card base. I stamped the sentiment and added several Eyelet Outlet tiny heart sequins which completed the card.
