This was made for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge this week. We were to make a card inspired by the style of Becky Oehlers, a.k.a. Sing n' Stamp. We get bonus points for incorporating an element of song. You can see the challenge here Blogs at Splitcoaststampers
Becky has a great style. It's so crisp and clean. I love everything she does -- especially her Papertrey Ink projects. She also has a wonderful line of digi papers that are free! Check them out here http://hemidemisemiquaver.wordpress....y/demi-design/
The paper design I used on this card is called Sonata. Isn't it gorgeous? I just used my photo editing software to change the colors. I printed it on glossy photo paper.
I first stamped the sentiment in Dark Chocolate. My image was stamped over the sentiment in Versamark then embossed with clear EP. Stamps are from Our Daily Bread Designs.
Finally, I tied some Dark Chocolate Satin ribbon around the corner, as I have seen on many of Becky's cards. Each layer is mounted on pop dots for dimension.
