I am very excited as I have been asked to join the Shannon's Sentiments as a guest designer for March. I am honered to be joining this wonderful group of ladies and this will be my first of many posts as a part of the team!
Today's preview is also being combined with our weekly challenge. Our hostess this week, Kapree, has challenged us to distress our cards.
The full sets with a blog hop will be starting at 6am EST on Mar. 15th at the "Shannon's Sentiments" blog. We will also be hosting a chat at our CDAC group page at 8pm EST on the 15th as well.
There are unique giveaways this month that I promise you won't want to miss out on.
Here is my sample using the Spare Change Jar set, what a neat set of stamps perfect for lots of fun things. My oldest son has dreams of going to college far away from me at University of Texas, yes that's right he wants to be a Longhorn! So when I saw this set I knew this was perfect to make a card for him, as we have told him a million times that you better get some scholarships to venture that far from home.
First I combined the jar and college into one image and then printed the image on black cardstock. Then I printed it on vellum, I know "gasp" I used vellum, which has also been in my stash for years! So I grabbed this burnt orange paper that has been in my stash for years + a little black & white cardstock. Lots of layers and added a little embossing using my Cuttlebug numbers folder and then inked it with CTMH Black Ink. I also inked all the edges as my distressing! Added a little black ribbon too!
