Stretch Your Stamps 2 Day 3, Card 2

I really liked the way Julie used the alphabet as a background, so I thought I'd give that a try. 

 I didn't try to do a word search type background, but stamped the background in multicolored ink (Tomato Vine by Kaleidacolor). I inked the edges with red before attaching to card front.

I then stamped the sentiment in the same ink, and matted it with three different colors of cardstock, then popped it up on the front of the card.  Still missing are my enamel dots, which, when found, will be placed on the sentiment and possibly the rest of the card front randomly.

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Day 3

Day 3 concentrated on using alphabet stamps.  They gave us several ideas on how to use them.







When I watched Debby's video, I liked the idea of using the alphabet stamps on the card embellishments, so die cut some leaves and stamped them in multicolored ink with the words Happy Thanksgiving.  I then stamped the sentiment in brown ink on tan card stock, and matted it on two sides with red.  I then popped it up on the card front (which really doesn't show well in this photo).








I made the card while camping, and while I took a lot of my supplies with me, I couldn't take everything (at least, that's what my husband told me) so I didn't have a lot of choices as far as card stock was concerned.  And I can't seem to find my enamel dots, so you'll have to imagine some red, yellow and orange dots scattered on the card front.
