Basic Grey Birthday!

Hey my friends! so how is your weekend progressing? hope you have lots of time to do those important things that you have needed to get done.

Today I am here again once again sharing a card created for Jay Gee's Nook. I had a lot of fun using the new Hero Arts stamps from the Basic Grey line, you can purchase these through the store HERE.

I took white card stock and trimmed it to form a card, next, taking some Basic Grey patterned paper and the Life of the Party Words, inking the stamp with Soft Pool ink and stamping directly to the patterned paper, trimming and sewing around the edge. I then took some Kraft card stock and the stamp, Life of the Party Dots, inking it with some Frost White ink and stamping onto the card stock, trimming it down to the size that I was after and dusting the edges with more Frost White ink, then sewing also around this card stock. Taking more patterned paper from Basic Grey and the the ice cream from the Life of the Party Birthday, I stamped onto the patterned paper, also stamping over the top of the ice cream, Life of the Party Dots with Soft Lilac, just to add more interest and trimmed around the image, adhering this to the Kraft card stock. I adhered a button to the Kraft card stock, then attached the card stock to the stamped background paper. I added a sentiment from the Life of the Party Birthday set to the bottom of the background stamped paper and lastly, adhered this to the front of the card.

I loved using these new stamps and I hope that this card gives you some inspiration to run out and buy these fabulous and fun stamps.

Okay now it is time to jump on over to the blog and find out what Judith and Ange have created for us this week.
