You and Me...

Hello! I am SO EXCITED to be guest designer for Market Street Stamps for the month of March. Here is my first card! ;) For my card I used three different stamp sets. Firstly, I used the Hearts a Plenty stamp to create my background paper. I stamped it with distress embossing ink and then heat embossed it with white powder.

I used a few different techniques on the Of The Same Tree stamp. I stamped the Bit of Burlap background stamp on kraft cardstock with Colorbox fluid chalk in in Chesnut Roan. I then stamped Of the Same Tree with distress embossing ink and heat embossed it with UTEE. Then I cut the tree trunk out. I stamped the tree again with distress ink in Shabby Shutters and then cut out the top portion. I sprayed it with glimmer mist in Key Lime to add a pretty shimmer. And finally, I used the sakura glaze pen in clear to add shine to the individual leaves. You can see the shine a little bit better here...

Well, that's my first project for the month! I had tons of fun creating it! Pop over to the Market Street Stamps BLOG to see all the other awesome work from the designers. Inspiration awaits!
