You Drive Me Wild

Hi everyone! It's great to be with you today! I can't believe it's February already!

Today I'm sharing a fun card I made using the Gel-à-Tins SWAK (Sealed With A Kiss) set!

I'm always looking for unusual ways to use stamps, and this idea came to me straight away:

Image

Pretty out-of-the-box huh?! Let me tell you what I did!

Image

I started with a yellow card base and stamped the mini lip trio using black ink.

Image

I then used various ink colours and a stiff brush to stipple on the colour to give the look of leopard print!

Image

I didn't want to cover up too much of that background, so I die-cut a tag, background stamped it with some distress-effect stamps and then built up a custom sentiment from lots of different stamp sets!

Image

A tip for twine that defies gravity - paint on some Matte Mod Podge and shape the twine as you wish, then hang upside down to dry!

SWAK
