Big Inspiration
Hi!! It’s almost the weekend! I’m especially excited because my son will have his first swim meet of the season on Saturday. I’ll be yawning and bleary-eyed at the pool by 5:45 (yes, a.m.) but oh so proud! Since we were undefeated last year, we’ve actually moved up two divisions so it’ll be interesting to see how well we do. I can’t wait!
Inspire
There’s a new sentiment set available at Cornish Heritage Farms today (6/12).
“Inspire” is one of six big chunky words from the Big Inspiration set. I love the distressed style of this font. I’ve paired it with Nature Silhouettes from the Kim Hughes Collection.
I’m not used to making cards without some kind of doo-dad(s) so I had a bit of a time deciding what to do with the image once it was stamped. In the end, I decided to add some wonky stitching around three of the sides and the little strip of zig-zag in the one corner.
One of the things I like to do when I have a big image that seems to take up most of the card front is to offset some of the layers (as opposed to having equal borders). It adds just a bit of difference but more interest, I think.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
