STAMPlorations April Release Hop - Day 1


This week is the STAMPlorations April Release blog hop!  I love release time, the DT always make such amazing cards with the images!  We have a popular Guest Designer too! :)

Today we are featuring; Fond Expressions

[Isn't this font quite fabulous! I love it~]

I wanted to focus on the sentiment so I used a light gray for the side stamping, using Mixed Media Grunge.

  • FIVE (5) commenters randomly drawn from the designers' blogs will each win a $10 gift certificate.

I blinked twice to make sure I was on your blog - LOL! That is some awesome sponge work you did on the center panel, Vicki! Love the spotlight effect you created to put the focus on the sentiment. You make STAMPlorations stand out whenever you create with our stamps and stencils, and I'm so happy you're part of the team -- you're a huge part of it! Hugs :o)
