To start my post today, I want to let you know there is a whole lot going on over at Kate's store, i {heart} papers. Here's the scoop:
HUGE Pre-CHA clearance sale July 11-21
25% off your order of $50 or more!
Coupon code: CHA2012DT
Storewide sale! Paper, Copics & refills, stamps, ribbon, everything!
And still, as always, free US shipping with your $60 order!
Now get over there, and tell Kate I sent you! No, I don't get commission - I just think Kate is a wonderful, amazing person!
Today, I've used a whole bunch of ihp product that has been sitting on my desk. I've used Fiddlesticks paper along with sponging all over the place using Gathered Twigs. I really do love this shade of greyed brown - DIVINE!! The flower center is the clear flower sparkler by Webster's Pages, and it is such a lovely, subtle bit of shine.
I used 2 stamp sets here, Mon Ami Paris and Sweet Hearts, overlapping the sentiments. I stamped 'love is sweet' in gathered twigs and 'mon ami' using pistachio memento ink. I do love memento ink with acrylic stamps because the coverage is so perfect. The pearls are Snow White from Kaisercraft - a perfect can't do without pearl and they colour beautifully with copic markers so I always have the perfect coloured pearl for every project. I used circles and lacey circles from spellbinders for the background accent and hand cut the little banner for the sentiment. It's really hard to see, but I also used Vintage Glass Glitter from Art Institute on the edges of my flower. It is just so sparkly IRL!!
