Guest Designer :: Virginia Lu

Hello!

We're here today with another post from our Guest Designer

Virginia Lu!

This girl has ROCKED her Market Street Stamps this month- we're so happy happy to have her as our guest!

I love the sentiment from Great Big Greetings! It is the go-to set for making Hello cards! For my first card today, I mixed the sentiment and embossed them in three different colors (orange, turquoise and pink) over black card stock. The border stamps are perfect to make the design look grounded. I then finished it off with Tim Holtz Distress Stain (Picket Fence). That way you get a chalk board look instantly! If you don’t have the Distress Stain, you can use any white chalk ink (such as Color Box) pad to achieve the chalk board look.

Sentiments play a huge role in card designs! Why not let the sentiment take center stage? Here I committed a little “stamping crime”. The sentiment “I REALLY MISS YOU” was cut up and then stamped with assorted colors. Not only do the colors attract your attention, they really really really convey the sentiment beautifully. And no worry, you can still stamp the sentiment like it is—REALLY! 

Nothing speaks louder than Neon colors! Here is fun one! Virginia will have more details about this card in her blog:  (Yes, Virginia...)
