Hi! So here it is, the news I know you have all been absolutely waiting breathlessly to hear. I am this month's Special Guest Designer for The Cat's Pajamas, isn't that just the cat's meow?!!!
I met Alma last spring at the shoebox swap in Texas. She is Kim's (the MFT lady) BSF and a very generous and warm person. Even though she didn't know me, she handed me 2 of her fabulous stamp sets to play with. I cannot begin to convey how completely fortunate I feel to be surrounded by some of the most creative, outgoing and kind people in the stamping industry, and that they know my name is just icing on the cake.
One of the stamp sets I received from Alma was It's a Mod, Mod World. The fun retro images lend themselves perfectly to designs like this, clean but funky. I made my oval nesties work very hard for this card. The black ovals were created by cutting the larger shape first and then running it back through the machine with the smaller die lined up on the edges. The tv is colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen and trimmed. The paper is from the Basic Grey 6x6 pad, Offbeat. I used Ranger Glossy Accents to accent the tv screen.
Thanks so much, Alma for letting me play in your sand box!
