Sneak Peek Week!!!

I try and think outside the box with these new stamp sets which I get to play with. The lastest one is Hanna's Garden set. It has some really fun images.

One thing I love about the clear stamps is the ability to manipulate them. I bent some of these carrots to give them a different look. Each carrot is stamped on whisper white with black pallete noir ink. I then colored them in with copics. The image was punched with a square punch. I layered it atop a square punched black piece of cardstock, then an orange piece of cardstock. I printed the sentiment on white cardstock. "Thanks a bunch" (get it - bunch of carrots). I used the edge of the square punch to create the v cut on the end. I layered it atop the black, then the orange, each time trimming a similar v with my paper snips. Finally, I mounted the main image to the card with dimensionals and adhered the sentiment with adhesive. The buttons were an afterthought. I had a bag of bright colored buttons from Joannes. I grabbed three orange buttons, used some making memories thread (no neked buttons here) and tied up a quick knot in each of them. They were attached with glue to the card.
I love the simple card and I cannot wait to give it to someone!

I love the small bits and pieces on the new Hanna sets. It allows the set to become much more versatile when you have images that are multi-purpose! Don't you think?
Oh, and don't forget:
