Today the divas are putting on another hop, previewing a set called Text Objects, but if you missed yesterday's hop, be sure to check out the link list in my sidebar for a chance to win. One lucky commenter along each day's hop will win the sets we're previewing that day!!! So c'mon and be a chatty Cathy, we won't bite! Oh, and there's still one week left to get your Triple Play project parade entries in for a chance to be our January Guest Diva!
So what can I say about Text Objects? It's designed around a little concept that Jen del Muro cooked up and emailed me about. Text-style background strips with coordinating sentiment stamps. Mix and match the 4" wide backgrounds (all focused around love and friendship) for a unique background every time, or simply repeat to achieve that trendy text-style look that's all the rage right now. There's even a few whimsical images thrown in to round out the set! Be sure to check out all the stops along the hop today to see what each of the Divas came up with!
For my card, I started by cutting a wave background with the TCP Wave die on some Pink Paislee Cupid Collection paper. Next up I stamped the background repeatedly on ivory paper in Tumbled Glass ink, then layered these together and cut a circle. Next i stamped the boat and paper pieced the parts over the wave on dimensionals. The coordinating sentiment, "There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship." is stamped on a classic circle, then lightly sponged with Tumbled Glass ink and matted on a kraft circle with hand drawn stitching. For the base of the card, I stamped the same background strip repeatedly in VersaMark, then embossed in clear and sponged Tumbled Glass ink over it for a resist effect. I finished off with some ruffled cherry cobbler seam binding ribbon, a clip and two gorgeous, super shiny cranberry flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty. I just received some of these yesterday and they're the prettiest red pearl I've ever seen! Makes my heart HAPPY!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to leave some comments along the hop for a chance to win today's set! Deadline for comment entries is 8PM Eastern tonight.
