A Heartfelt {blot} Thank You



Just a little fun playing with colors from the Color My Heart Color Dare #233, and using the Sketch #311 from Try Stampin' ~or not~ on Tuesday blog.  Wood Slats embossing folder was used to add a bit of texture to the background, and a strip of Sea Glass (color of the year) patterned paper from the Sugar Rush kit creates a nice balance.   

The focal piece is created using different "blot" stamps from the Ink Blot set, along with the challenge colors of Black, Pomegranate, Peacock, and Sea Glass to stamp the decorative blots and sentiment from the Happy Heart set.

  3. Your card is beautiful, Sheila! I love how your colors work so well with the sketch. Your vertical panel using the sea glass color (one of my favorite colors) and the subtle plaid work great on your card! Thank you for sharing with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!
