It has been way too long since I have posted on here. So much has changed in my life and I'm trying to make stamping a priority once again. It is my therapy, my sanity, and my happiness. I have really missed it. I'm taking it slow right now and making cards or projects as the ideas come to me. Soon I hope to be back in the swing of things with regular posts. The video tutorials will be back soon too. I just need to work on a new set up for my camera and I'll be back in business.
Since I have last posted, I have gotten married. I used to post under Dannie Graves, but my name is now Dannie Hussey. Don't let the name change fool you. It's still me.
Enough of all of that stuff. Would you like to see a recent card I made?
This card uses the Painted with Love Suite from the Occasions catalog. While I absolutely love the stamp set and the framelits in the suite, my favorite thing is the gorgeous Painted with Love designer series paper (DSP). Although you can't see it in the photo, the "black" looking stripes on the card are actually gold foil. The lighting didn't capture it correctly. Each of the pieces of DSP have some type of gold foiled accent on one side. I'm sure I will be using this DSP in many other projects to come, so be sure to check back.
I inked up the heart image in Melon Mambo ink and then rolled the edges of the stamp in Rich Razzleberry ink before I stamped it (the rock-n-roll technique). I then cut the heart out using the Lots to Love Box framelits that coordinate with the stamp set. I used the Sparkle embossing folder on the Powder Pink card stock to add some texture to the card. I finished it off with some beautiful Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding.
I kept the inside of the card very simple. The strip of DSP is the back of the DSP shown on the front of the card. I love how rich and beautiful the color are together.
