Hello! Today I am a part of the Beth Duff Designs Fall Release Blog Hop. There are many new sets available, and I will be featuring the Bless Our Nest stamp set.
I really love the sentiment, “Home is wherever we are together” that comes in this stamp set. It’s just lovely. I knew I wanted to start there with my card design. I also thought the bird houses were sweet, and that it would be fun to have a colorful row of them. The images were all stamped with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, and colored with Zig Clean Color Markers.
I wanted to add a subtle background, so I used the Herringbone Metal Stencil from Stampendous (It’s a favorite of mine) with some Antique Linen Distress Ink. I went heavy with the ink in some spots, and lighter in others. It gives the background a softer look that I love. I also added a few sequins from Doodles Paper Playground with some On Point Glue. It gave it just the little bit of shine that the card needed.
Below I have the entire hop list, and I hope you will give everyone a visit. Start at the Beth Duff Designs Blog to get all of the info you need on the hop. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
