Blooming with Kindness

Last week I was close to hitting 100 likes on my facebook page.  As an incentive to help me reach my goal, I said that the 100th person to "like my page" would get a hand-stamped card from me.  I'm happy to say that I've passed my goal and I'm well on my way to 200 likes! 

As promised, I made a hand-stamped card for the winner.  I started with this great Viva la Verve sketch.

I really like this layout.  It's such a simple design, yet it's so pretty.

My card looks a little washed out--sorry.  I'm trying some new photo editing and photo taking techniques and I'm still working out the kinks. 

I used the International Bazaar DSP and paired it with the Blooming with Kindness stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with a circle nestability, and then sponged around the edges before I removed the nestability.  I finished it off by adding a scalloped layer behind it and some paper-piercing below the sentiment.  I attached it to the card using dimensionals.

This is definitely a layout I will be using again.  A simple change of paper and sentiment and it would make a beautiful card for any occasion.

I added some ribbon and some paper to the inside of my card to finish it off.  I hope you enjoy your card Jo.  Thanks for supporting me and thanks for stopping by!
