Woohoo it's Wednesday! I'm back with more fabulous designs from Guest Designer, Melissa Roell.
The new You Are My Sunshine includes seven awesome sentiments, a fabulous starburst background image and a few extra elements. I love all of the sentiments and this has quickly become one of my go to stamp sets. Today, Melissa's cards feature this new stamp set and I think you will LOVE her cards.
This first card combines the sentiment Coffee Time with the small to go cup die that is part of the Need to Venti die set. Melissa created a fun background for her card using A Muse Studio Splash - a favorite product here in A Muse Land. Melissa created a simple watercolor wash background using Margarita Splash on watercolor paper. When I stamp over watercolor backgrounds, I like to use waterproof Archival Blank ink.
Melissa added droplets of Habanero Splash Ink for the perfect finishing touch!
This next card is EXACTLY how I envisioned using the You Are My Sunshine stamp set - fast, easy and beautiful cards! Melissa inked up the starburst image using Melon pigment ink all over the stamp, she then added a darker orange ink, Habanero, on the outer edges of the stamp using a sponge dauber. This is a great, simple technique to add some pizzazz to your stamping. Use the larger circle in the Lots of Dots stamp set to add color to the center of the starburst and then stamp your sentiment over top. Easy peasy!
