Guest Designer - Amy Brown

It's time for our final Guest Designer post, and Amy Brown (of Brite Designs Studio) made sure we went out with a "bang!" I just love this adorable owl card with it's bright, happy polk-a-dot background!! Here's what Amy says about putting this cute card together:

"I started this card by stamping the Thank You sentiment from MFT's Spotlight Sentiment onto some white Neenah cardstock and heat embossing it with this beautiful Oasis embossing powder by WOW!

I trimmed the sentiment strip to fit the front of a card and added some stitched detail to the edges using MFT Home spun Stitch Lines. Afterwards I placed foam tape on the back and adhered it to the card front. 

I embellished this card with this adorable dimensional owl sticker that a friend sent me from Dollar Tree and a few "Date Night" enamel hearts by ChickANiddy."

 

 

Supplies used:

My Favorite Things Spotlight Sentiments

My Favorite Things Homespun Stitch Lines

WOW! Oasis embossing powder

ChickANiddy "Date Night" enamel hearts

Dollar Tree dimensional stickers

Let It Snow

Today I have a fun snow themed card for you in pinks and browns. When I was gluing my sentiment on,  I accidentally smudged some brown ink on the embossed background. Since I didn't feel like starting over, I diluted some distress oxides and created a spatter effect. Fun fix for my whoopsie!
