Vintage Letter Thank You Card

I'm Card Captain of the enjoyMichaelStrongstamps Yahoo Group for this week, so for 5 days I'll be showing you several works using Michael Strong's stamps. I hope you'll find them inspiring.

My 2nd card for this week is a Thank You card in Vintage colors, using a Kraft card basis and Kraft CS for the stamped sentiment, which is the dictionary definition of the word Todah (i.e. thank you, in Hebrew).

The patterned paper background paper is in shabby chic style, and the patterned paper used for the Rosette was designed with old letters and post cards.

I used Michael Strong's Cloisonné Hummingbird stamp (small) from the Mini Wings set.

I stamped it on a contrasting light blue paper using VersaFine Ink - Black Onyx, and cut it using Michael Strong's Mini Wings Metal Die Cutter Set -  they are so easy and fun to use!

I also used Tim Holtz Rosette (large) with a snowflake on top of it, which was cut out of a Vintage patterned paper, as a tribute for Christmas and for a dramatic 3D look.

Both the Rosette and the stamped tag with the sentiment were inked all around, to give them a distinct, eye-catching frame.

I glues the Rosette, The sentiment and the Hummingbird 3D, and added several colorful blings.

Thank You Card With Stamped Background

I'm Card Captain of the enjoyMichaelStrongstamps Yahoo Group for this week, so for 5 days I'll be showing you several works using Michael Strong's stamps. I hope you'll find them inspiring.

My 4th card for this week is a Thank You Card With Stamped Background.

I used Michael Strong's Cloisonné Hummingbird stamp (small) from the Mini Wings set.

I also used a Hebrew stamp which shows the Dictionary definition of Todah (i.e. Thank You).

The technique is simple and fun.

You can create your own stamped background pages, and they'll never look the same.

Also, each piece you'll cut out of your page will look different.

To create your own background page, all you need is several different stamps and several ink pads in various colors.

You start by choosing one stamp, stamping it randomly here and there on your page, using one ink color.

Then you do the same thing again, using another stamp and another ink color every time.

You stamp all over the page, in the gaps between the already stamped images, until you're happy with the result – a background page uniquely created by you!

Now you can cut pieces of your page and use them for backgrounds, to create any card or art project you desire... a unique one.
