Skipping Stones Design – Guest Designer Week 4

Hey there, y’all!

I’m back today with a card to share using the wonderful Skipping Stones Design stamps. Over the past 3 weeks or so, I’ve had the pleasure of guest designing with this great stamp company, and it has been such a joy to play along with them. We’ve had super-inspiring sketches provided by Ashley, and awesome newly released stamp sets which can be found here.

Today’s card is based on this sketch (hands down, my fave!):

I decided not to do a banner as depicted in the sketch, and instead go with a scrolling piece of chipboard that I picked up at a local garage sale (it came in a zippy FULL of pretties just like it for $2!)… Anyway, what I did was paint the chipboard with some white acrylic paint, let it dry, sand the edges, then stamp with Timeless Textures background stamp by SSD. I had initially planned to glitter the entire piece, but after doing a tester piece, I decided to just leave it be…and that’s basically how we ended up with the final result. The rest was pretty easy – cut, distress, adhere, stitch, repeat. Lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and as always, let me know if you have any questions!

To Heather, and all of the SSD team, thanks so much for having me this month! It’s been such a pleasure!
