Touch of Kindness

Hi Stampers

 
Another whimsical stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog called  Touch of Kindness.  This delightful set celebrates with a cheery hello, thank you or thinking of you and I love the images in it, especially the cute little birds and bird bath.

 
I paired the stamp set with the Blueberry Crisp Designer Series Paper which is retiring on 30 June 2011.  I've had this DSP since it came out in July 2010 and barely used it.  Now that it is retiring I'm finding all kinds of reasons to use it – go figure!

The image was stamped with Jet Black Stazon on Whisper White Card Stock and colored in using Pacific Point, Basic Gray, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers.  I used an Aqua Painter to soften the colors. 

It was then layered on Pacific Point Card Stock and Basic Gray Card Stock.  The next layer is the Blueberry Crisp Designer Series Paper which was adhered to the Pacific Point Card Stock  that was embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and layered on Basic Gray Card Stock (base card).  Basic Gray 5/8" Satin Ribbon completed the look.

Thanks for stopping by today!
