The tenth.
Of August.
Wow. Summer is FLYING!
This month I decided to put together a card (to see a two page layout I created with this month's set:Leaving on a Jet Plane by Ali Edwards , click here.
When I stamped the sentiment, I originally stamped it in the lime green - thinking it would match nice with the zig zag border on the card - however, it didn't stamp dark enough/was hard to see. Hating to waste my die cut, I decided to restamp the sentiment in black. The biggest perk about clear stamps is seeing where the stamp is stamping. I lined up, but I didn't worry about getting it exact because I also love that shadow look, and was hoping for it.
It worked.
Make sure to check out the rest of this month's inspiration:
AND - We’ll give away a prize:
A $25 gift certificate will go to someone who comments during the hop. The winner will be announced on the 15th on the Technique Tuesday blog.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
be good
in love with this stamp set!

Great card ... the map paper fits the theme of the stamp set perfectly. Also like the way the sentiment turned out ... perfect planning right?

Ah, yes....the "too light, so I stamped over it in a darker color" fix!! How very many times we have all done that! Love the map and the arrow!
