To make this, I stamped the thank definition in black and then used a limited edition set from Clear and Simple Stamps called Thank You to create a thank you frame! This was so fun!
I am trying to make time to put together a quick tutorial on precision stamping, and will post it as soon as I can. Unfortunately, real life is intruding with some unwanted stress this week, which is slowing me down.
Now, I'll send a pack of bling to the first person who can correctly identify the Shakespearean character whom I quoted for the title of this post.
supplies
stamps: Hero Arts Greeting Definitions, Clear and Simple Stamps Thank You

I believe it was Hamlet.
ReplyDeleteDon't know much Shakespeare, but I do think your card is just great. I have this set, and have never thought of using it this way--but I will now!
ReplyDeleteYep, definitely Hamlet! Great thank you card!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the tutorial, and I love your card !
ReplyDeleteQuestion answered... but I still have to say that I love your card!
ReplyDeleteI love that quote! Hamlet said it when asked what he read. I've always thought that was a clever answer/line. Anyway ... .
ReplyDeleteLove your TY card. Very nice. :)
Absolutely stunning...Love that sentiment!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, don't know the answer. But I really like your design, a smashing idea.

You'd never know this wasn't just one stamp. Great job of matching the spacing of the perimeter stamps. It looks great! Now, from reading the answers above, I'll say.....Hamlet!.....but I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteYour card really appeals to me too. No school for me today, so I appreciate the lesson also.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of when I saw your title was Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady - not quite Shakespeare, I know... :) I love this card! I'm going to have to get out my gridded blocks and practice this weekend. You inspired me to get cracking! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this Susan, definitions always make great sentiments or as in your case an amazing card!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Susan. I'm amazed how well you were able to fit the Clear and Simple stamps around the definition - you must have played around with that for quite a while!

brilliant design!
ReplyDeleteWell, it was Hamlet but obviously I've arrived to late to benefit from my trivia loaded brain. Had to comment on your card though - brilliant! I've never seen this HA stamp used to better effect. Wonder if I have enough other Thankyou stamps to case your card. :0) Thanks for such great inspiration...
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble posting through my Google Account so I'll try an Anonymous post.
ReplyDeleteThe quote is from Hamlet, I believe that Polonius said it, and I'm pretty sure he said, "Words, words, mere words........"
I love me some Shakespeare :-)
And I love the card!!!

THANK YOU in advance for the tutorial!!! I need it so bad lol!! I got myself an acrylic block with the grid lines....and ummmm...let's just say I need that tutorial!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so great but I have one question. Do you ever see the ink on the inside of the card? Does it show through when you stamp?
