Hello~ Just thought I'd pop in and share a card I made for this week's Make-It Monday with Papertrey Ink. Melissa has a great video on creating backgrounds using sentiments stamps. I've done this before and it's a technique that I quite enjoy but don't do it often enough.
I'm needing a card for a new homeowner as my daughter and her husband are in the process of buying their first home. If the inspection goes well and everything else goes smoothly, they'll have a closing on June 1st so I couldn't wait to make them a card to celebrate this special occasion. It's a cute little yellow house with white trim so I went with those colors for my card. I stamped the background with Keep It Simple: Home. I created the house using Tiny Town Basics and added the little window boxes from Sweet Shoppe. I hand wrote their last name on the sign.
Hope you'll check out this week's video HERE and join in on the fun!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit
