Welcome by again, friends. Today I'm posting for Blank Page Muse and sharing another beautiful card using some of their amazing stamps. For this card, I made "a return to retro rubber", and I loved it. By choosing to purchase my stamps in retro rubber, I was able to save a lot of money. I was still able to use the stamps in my Misti just like I do with acrylic stamps.
I used a piece of patterned paper as my card base. It's a piece of blue from the Crate Paper Pretty Party line. Next, I used a piece of white watercolor paper to create all those wonderful layers of stamped goodness. First I stamped the background using Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink and the Handwritten Notes Stamp (in rubber). Next, I stamped the Twin Grungy Overlapped Hearts (rubber) three times in Spun Sugar Oxide Ink and Raspberry Oxide Ink. I fussy cut all the hearts and attached them to my base.
I stamped the DARLING Bird w/Small Butterflies (rubber) two times in Speckled Egg Oxide Ink and I fussy cut those as well. I attached them to my growing card base. The final layer was the sentiment (Thinking About You) which is found in the Special Day Stamps - Birthday Hugs Stamp Set (acrylic). I attached the sentiment with 3-D foam squares.
This really is a very simple card to create. Buying stamps in rubber is a real money saver and it allows you to get more product for the buck. And like I said, they work in my Misti just fine as you can see. I don't stamp without my Misti anymore. I love how it allows me to hit it more than once in the exact same spot making the ink nice and wet. It's FUN using Blank Page Muse stamps and I really like what I've been able to create with them. I hope you'll check it out.
