Stop My Madness!

It's an illness sometimes when you are stamping and you just cannot STOP adding materials to the project.  This card tells the whole story. 

I couldn't stop.  First, Stampin' Up! has such great products and when I lay it all out in front of me I can't help but grab pieces and put it together. 

I started this card with a quick Gesso wash over the Natural Composition DSP. It's a  very light wash. Just enough to make the notes POP and give it the vintage feel I was looking for. 

I embossed the fun swirly stamp from Great Sport by stamping in Basic Black craft ink and then adding Clear Embossing Powder.  Love that swirly image!  Just think, it's a sport set!  Sometimes we have to think OUTSIDE the sandbox. 

The rest was just a little layering.  Added the Tea Doily (just a half) and then two strips of the World Spectacular DSP.  

Do you have a few toothpicks hanging around? That's how I made my Pennant.  Pennants are AWESOME and still very popular for any project.  

I added a squished bottle cap (oh wait… we call them soda pop tops!)  Use a 1" circle of your favorite DSP inside the cap and it's beautiful!

That little bitty banner with the Thanks on it comes from my all time favorite stamp set tiny tags.  

It may be over the top with lots of fun products but the bottom line is I had FUN creating it.
