Cardstock & Stamps Make Me “Happy”!
This week Core’dinations has teamed up with Hampton Arts! The Design Team has each been given some of their stamps to work with and we want to show you how we have combined their stamps with cardstock from Core’dinations!
For my project, I created the 12×12 layout above using Core’dinations Core Essentials, & the super cute stamp set below from Hampton Arts.
* Here are a couple of close up shots:
Yeah…my mother insisted in putting all 35 candles on my cake!!
I used Ranger Ink’s new Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Victorian Velvet to paint the light pink background on one of my sheets of cardstock. I laid some paint down, then went back over it with a paper towel to take some of it back off. This gave it somewhat of a whitewashed effect. I decided to stay with pink/red theme and just chose several different Core’dination cardstocks that I thought coordinated with each other!
(Other Supplies Used for Project)
- Colorsnap Ink
- STAEDTLER Triplus Fineliner Pens
- May Arts Ribbon
- Studio Calico Wood Veneer, & Mr. Huey Spray
- American Thickers
- Tim Holtz Mini Staples
- Vellum, Sewing Thread, & Sequins
- iPhone Photo edited in Instagram
