OCC Getting Wordy

Good morning! We've got another fantastic challenge for you again this week at Our Creative Corner! The challenge, from Sarah Gough, is to use a sentiment stamp (stamped repeatedly) to create a background or layer for your project.

I chose a bold and simple "thank you" stamp for my background. The main sentiment is embossed in white, and the others were stamped with my VersaMark pad (gotta love it!)

I finished off the front panel with embossed flowers. If you choose to do this, you must wait for the watermark ink to dry first, which takes some time-hit that baby with the heat gun to speed things along! Once I thought it was dry, I stamped the flowers and poured on the black powder, and still had a few stray morsels (is that the right word? particles? molecules?!) of embossing powder stuck to the Thank Yous. I just brushed them off with a paintbrush- no biggie.

Other elements in my card include the scoring on the white cardstock, and my looped/twisted ribbon. I love doing that to my satin ribbons, like in this card. This one too.

So get out those sentiments and play along!
