Final Sunshine Saturday

This is going to be my last Sunshines Stamps post as a design team member. I've had a wonderful time being on the team and getting the chance to work with such a fabulous group of talented women for over 6 months! I really want to give a huge hug to Sunshine for giving me the opportunity to be on my first design team and encouraging me to grow as a crafter. Believe it or not, but before I was on this team I only did scrapbook layouts and the very first cards I ever made were for her design team. That's how green I was and yet she still welcomed me on to the team with open arms and gave me the confidence to later help my sister-in-law start her own digi company called "Ildi Co" and later apply for a spot on the PaperWorks Co design team. Thanks so much Sunshine! You're an amazing person and it's been an honor to work with you and your awesome digi stamps!!

For this card I decided to do a style very different from my usual style. I went for a clean and simple look with distressing. The colour combo was from this weeks colour challenge over on StampTV and I thought that the distressing would go well with these colours of black, white and Kraft. The sketch I used is from Tuesday Morning Sketches and of course this cute heart image is from Sunshine's Stamps.

I printed the heart image onto white card stock, distressed the edges and crinkled it up. After unfolding it, I applied Distress Ink - Antique Linen with a sponge dauber. The deisgner paper is from JilliBean Soup's Black Bean Collection which can be found at PaperWorks Co.

If you haven't got yourself any Sunshine's Stamps yet, head over there now and see what they have! There are new images added weekly and they have a big variety to chose from. Lots of great masculine images for those guys in your lives.
