Swinging by

If anyone knows the maker of this stamp set, I would appreciate letting me know.  At my LSS they had a yard sale recently and someone was selling a bunch of stamp sets with these images but there was no name on them (no original packaging) the letters and numbers below was all that was on the stamp set.  After getting it home I realized this was meant to be a Love set but I just put a different message inside to be a birthday card for my great nephew.


I hand cut around the image so I could use some pop dots to lift it up, shading on the background with distress inks for the ground.

SSC 160 - STM 2007 for image and sentiment, colored with markers
DCWV -- Earth prints paper and cardstack pack
Fiskars -- cloud punch

We ended up getting over 2 inches of snow, Peanut is not thrilled at all about it, she has taken to going to the bathroom on our back deck so she doesn't have to go out in the snow, at her age of 14 I can't hardly blame her.

Hope you all doing well with all this crazy weather, we are hitting all time records here of most snow and cold for this time of year.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Connie

This is just as cute as can be, Connie! It works great as a birthday card with the sentiment you used. So adorable! I don't recognize the stamp, but the monkey is similar to some that Stampendous does. This early winter weather is crazy, isn't it? Brrrr!

Snow already??? Brrr! I'm glad I live in the South. I'd never survive such long winters!!! Your card is adorable, and so warm. ;) Love the raised images, and the sponging you did for the background looks amazing! LOVE IT!

Sweet card Connie. Love the cut out image. The sponged background looks really nice... and oh, that fluffy cloud is just perfect.
