Irresistibly Yours Thinking of You

Scattered Love


Love is in the air!!!  Although the stamp set is retired, I just had to use it.  The colors are rose red, sahara sand, and very vanilla.  I did use the current Happy Heart Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder from the Occasions catalog.  The delicate doily was brayered with sahara sand for a softer look.

This is one of the cards we made in our recent "Love" stamp-a-stacks.  Are you in the Milwaukee/Metro area and would like to make 8 cards (4 designs)....simply email me.  We meet the 2nd Monday and 2nd Thursday of each month at my home.
