I love all the images & sentiments in the Simply Sketched hostess stamp set. For this card I used the flower and one of the sentiments in the set. I used two techniques on this card – the bubble wrap technique which consists of just any bubble wrap you have laying around the house or that you just got in the mail. Simply ink it up with a brayer and place your cardstock on top and rub to get the bubble image onto the cardstock. I didn’t really want a uniform look for this card so I inked up the bubble wrap and took it in my hand and stamped all over the cardstock free style. The other technique I used was a dyed ribbon. Did you know you could use your inkpad or reinkers to dye a ribbon the color you want? I didn’t have a Coastal Cabana or Pistachio Pudding ribbon so I decided to make my 5/8″ Organza White Ribbon 2 tone by using both colors. I’m happy with the way it came out.
This stamp set is a hostess set which means you host your own workshop with at least $150 worth of Stampin’ Up! products and you can get your own Simply Sketched stamp set or purchase $150 worth of products yourself and get this stamp through your rewards. How cool is that?
I would love to hear what you think of these techniques . . . leave me a comment.
