#spreadjoynotgerms Blog Hop!
Hello crafty friends and Welcome to #spreadjoynotgerms Blog Hop! Thanks so much for coming over and share with us. We are really excited about spreading inspiration and joy to our community, friends and stampers that are at home, alone, anxious or just bored! I’m so happy to be a part of this event and represent my small business Joy Clair Designs. You can also find this post at Joy Clair Designs Blog.
Let the fun start and for today I have a very special card that I made using the recently released stamp set Go there! in combination with some images from the Party Animals set.
I used the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies by Kat Scrappiness to die cut the top layer. This is a new set of die cuts that work perfectly with my idea for the card. Additionally, I inked the top layer with three different colors of distress ink to create the background. I used Mustard Seed, Fired Brick and Seedless Preserve. I masked the area to have the color inside of the stitched of the die.
Onto white card stock, I stamped the cows. Then, I enhanced some details of the images with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir and fussy cut with scissors. The sentiments and sentiments are part of the stamp sets Go There and Party Animals.
Now, I have a surprise for you. Our next release of stamps will be at the end of April and I want to give you a little of this in advance or a sneak peek of one of our new stamp sets, Spring Floral Basket.
Keep in touch that our new release and giveaway will be on April 28 & 29 here at Joy Clair Designs Store and Blog.
