Love Is....So Sweet

Here is another card using the Love is Kindness a la cart stamp but with soft, vintage-y feel. This is a totally different look from the bold look of the card posted last week. I did use the same Washi tape masking technique, though. (And remembered to remove it before stamping this time - yay me!)

The new Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi Blendabilities are a welcome addition to the bolder colors of the previously released assortments! In addition to the Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi, there are also Bermuda Bay and Soft Sky assortments available now!

I hope that eventually most, if not all, of the Stampin' Up! colors will be available in the alcohol markers. I just love to color, and feel like I get the best results (read - no streaking) when I use them!

STAMPS: Love is Kindness, Hello Life
CARDSTOCK: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Typeset Specialty DSP, Gold Foil Sheets
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black, Baked Brown Sugar, Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi Blendabilities
ACCESSORIES: Big Shot, Happy Heart T.I.E.F., Stamping Sponges, Blender Pen

LOVE

Love is Kindness, that is. This is one of the a la cart stamps in the the Occasions catalog that I just adore. It is so quick and easy to color with the Blendabilities markers, and depending on the colors used and other card elements, it can take on many different looks.

This stamp has the greeting attached, so I just masked it off with a bit of Washi tape, inked it up with Memento ink, and then stamped, after removing the Washi. Of course, the first time I did it, I forgot to remove the Washi before stamping, and had an ugly inky blob where there wasn't supposed to be! (Note to self......remove Washi before stamping!)
