Let's Make It A Set + Blog Hop
Here we are with another Let's Get Hopping Blog Hop. This month's theme is card sets. Here's my crafty inspiration for you:
For this set I painted an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of photo paper with turquoise blue, white, and gold acrylic paint.
Once dry I cut it up into backgrounds. I wish that you could get touch sensation through a computer because you would be amazed how these cards feel. It is like a dreamy thick piece of textured vinyl. It's such a unique hand painted little piece of artwork.
For this card set I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets, Colorful Seasons from Stampin' Up. I love these bold sentiments. Here's a crafty tip: My husband brings me home all these silly little pieces of trinkets and trash that he finds on the floor at work, all the time, and asks if I can use it for something. Most of the time it goes straight into the circular file (shh, don't tell), but those cute little flip flops were one of his finds. I love being able to re-purpose items into my work. I have had these lying around my craft room for about three years waiting for an opportunity.
Honestly, I think I want to frame the "just breathe" card. I don't think I can part with it! Well I hope you enjoyed today's crafty inspiration. Let's "hop" on over to my pal Nina's blog to see what she came up with to share with you today.
Have a crafty day!
