Inkspirational Challenge - Thank You with Something New


Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to make a thank you card using something new.

My new thing is the girl stamp, which is from a set by Personal Impressions/ Lindsay Mason. I bought these just before Christmas.  As she is hugging ('feeling') a heart, I thought it's be fun to team it with the Clearly Besotted sentiment 'Heartfelt Thanks'.

On this card I used two of my favourite 'techniques'. First I cropped the stamped image - she is full length, but I cut her off at the thighs. The other is paper-piecing, which I did on the heart.

At Inkspirational this challenge we are joined by an amazing Guest Designer, Maaike , so I hope you'll come over and see what she, and the DT have made, and join in the challenge.

    You're great at making your stamps look different by cropping them. The image is such a good choice for a thank you card.

    What a fun new stamp! I really like that sentiment stamp. I feel like it is difficult to find something unique for a 'thank you' sentiment. Love the blue color and I am glad you mentioned the paper piercing because it is a bit hard to see in the photo.
    Happy New Year!
