Stamp Off Sunshine Sayings Textures

Greetings, from your Stamp Off team, consisting of

Susan, Buffy and myself.  We love bringing you a Friday

slice of Stampin' Up! creativity.

Today, we are presenting a Textures Challenge.

This is an opportunity to pull out those sponges, Textured

Embossing Folders and tools that maximize texture

on your project.

 I am a fan of the Sunshine Sayings set on page 97,

with coordinating Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies (p 194),

specifically because of the degree of texture that can 

be achieved, using both stamps and thinlits.  I did "cheat" and use the Timeless Textures set on page 120 to add still more texture to this card.  I clear embossed the flowers from Sunshine Sayings, and then did some sponging.  By the time I was done stamping and sponging everything, my fingers were an inky mess, but I was satisfied with the card textures.

I used my very favorite color combination; Very Vanilla, 

Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Watermelon Wonder

(all In-Colors).  I added a layer of Very Vanilla

behind the sponged "love" die cut, to create a bit more

texture before mounting it on a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon.

This is still a nice, "flat" card that will go through the

postal system with little difficulty.

Now that you've seen my offering, please hop on over

to check out what Buffy and Susan have done with

this Stamp Off textures challenge!
