In Friday’s delivery, I got another fantastic new stamp set called Awesomely Artistic that, again, I couldn’t wait to ink up! I haven’t forgotten about my old favourites but there’s just something about new stamps, isn’t there? Plus I thought it would suit a couple of challenges I’d spotted just perfectly.
Firstly, I fancied having a go at the sketch challenge over at TGIF and then I thought I would try using the colours suggested in the latest PPA challenge.
So here is the card I came up with.
I flipped the sketch and used a base of Early Espresso followed by Whisper White. I’ve then taken the Neutrals DSP stack and used the diagonal Sahara Sand pattern turning the pattern around so it was horizontal. I then have a smaller layer of Marina Mist followed by Whisper White where I have stamped the splodges and the woven effect stamp in Sahara Sand. I embossed the blooms in Whisper White and fussy cut them.. Don’t look too closely as my 7 yr old, 5 yr old and 3 yr old were in the room at the time, so I was somewhat distracted!!
I’ve then stamped ‘friend’ within the frame stamp and used the Project Life Framelits to cut it out. Finally I popped thje flowers and sentiments up on dimensionals for a bit of interest.
I hope you like my entry, do leave a comment as I love hearing your opinions and I do reply to them all.
Until next time, happy stamping.

That’s such a beautiful card, Eimear. I’ve just got the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and am having great fun playing with it. I know I’m going to get a lot of use out of it over the coming months and look forward to seeing what you come up with too.
Thanks Tracey, will keep my eyes peeled for your creations too, it’s such a lovely set
My first attempt with this set was on my blog yesterday – http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2135247/entry/my_aha_moment . It’s such a lovely stamp set I predict it won’t make it to my stamp shelves any time soon.
That’s beautiful Tracey, thanks for sharing it. I might have to get my Aqua painter out!
Beautiful card! Can’t wait to get that set! Thanks for linking up with us @TGIF this week!
Thx Mercedes, it’s not normally a set I would go for but was sold immediately when I saw it demonstrated at our regional event.
Such a gorgeous card! The color combo and set work great with this sketch. Thanks for playing along at #TGIFC this week!
Thank you Jeanna, glad you like it 🙂
