Shining Bright - card #3


Well here it is.  The last of 3 cards that I challenged myself to create using this Fred Mullett stamp.  
If you are just tuning in, this weekend, I challenged myself to make 3 different cards using the same image stamps.  I went for different colours and different layouts on all three.  
This one is very CAS but I think it has a real elegant feel to it.  Saw the photo below and used those colours.
I started by stamping the image using a combination of Distress inks and spraying with water before stamping.  I added the sentiment and then the scoring lines to help pull it all together.

Special thanks to everyone who so kindly left me a comment or who came to take a peek to see what I was up to.  So very appreciated!!  I may try this again with another image stamp that has some dust on it from sitting in the drawer.

Hope you have a great week.

Supplies:  stamp; Fred Mullett, Studio G/ Distress inks/ Scoring tool

Love all three of them! Thanks for the inspiration! I also like to use older stamps and show them some love!

Beautiful card! So elegant with the scored lines. All three cards are beautiful and look so very different even though it was the same stamp. Your color combinations were so gorgeous and also helped to give each card a different feel and look. Look forward to more. I too like to show old stamps some love as I find it hard to get rid of them. :) TFS

Nice card! I like the colors. I'd say it could even be an "untraditional" Christmas card. :)

Another beauty! All three have been fab! Very inspiring and thought provoking of what stamp(s) I may have to do something similar. Really love the colors of this one and the scoring is perfection!

I enjoyed your three variations of one stamp.
Congratulations on your recent induction to the hall of fame at ATCAS.
