More Squares

It may be obvious to those of you familiar with the set that I'm trying to use ALL the image stamps in PTI's Sign Language set as part of my 2009/2010 Craft Resolution to use all my image stamps. I had already made this one when people started requesting bling. I just love it when you request stuff.


This card varies the theme of yesterday's cards by adding three squares in graduated shades of ochre (Colorbox chalk inks) to the scored card base. The sentiment is stamped in brown chalk ink. I accented the flowers with little dots of brown Stickles, and it's much blingier in real life. Today's sentiment is from PTI's Mega Mixed Messages.

I'm taking a break with this set now until I feel mentally capable of facing Christmas/winter theme cards for the remaining stamps. Also, I did use the actual sign stamp but decided I just don't like it. So I never have to use it again. Whew. What a relief!

  4. This is lovely. I love the graduated color. Love the scoring too. I'm sure the bling looks great in real, but can't really tell from the photo.

  6. I really like this card. I have this set and have hardly used it. I agree with you about the sign. I tried using it several times and getting everything lined up just right was exhausting. Thanks for the great ideas.

  9. Love this card too - I feel the same way about the sign post - I don't use it either.

  12. Pluperfect again! When I grow up I'm going to learn how to make dots of Stickles all the same size and shape because Susan does it so why do mine all look like a little kid got ahold of Mom's supplies and had fun?

    I love touches of Cinnamon Stickles on black-stamped pinecones, but oh how I hate when one burp of the Stickles bottle sends out a blob that spoils the whole thing.

  20. I am so glad I found your blog!!

    Thanks to you, I am no longer afraid of white space. Well, a little nervous still, but I did make a card similar to yours last night and was pleased with it.

    It is rare that I am pleased with something that I make. :)

    I am just getting started making cards. Only have a few SU stamp sets, and a handful that I have picked up at an "everything a dollar" type store.
