Full of Pride

Hello again friends!

I'm so excited to share my cards using Kindred Stamps new "Full Of Pride" stamp set! This set is all about love and Gay Pride, it makes me happy. I honestly could keep playing with it, and if I had more time, I probably would have.

My first card that I just had to make, used the "Love is Love is Love" sentiment, which was inspired by my friend Kelli's ideas. I began by picking a paper to use, I chose a sheet from Sunny Studio's Rainbow Bright paper. The hearts felt ideal for this card. I used The Stamp Doctor Nested Oval Dies and Stitched Oval Dies to create a space for my sentiment and then stamped using Stazon's Purple Pigment Ink.

I finished it off by using Nuvo Dream drops on a few of the hearts, which don't show up well on the picture but give a little shimmer in person.

Next, I made a card for a "Mr. & Mr." wedding! I wanted it to make it super classy so I went with a white and silver color scheme. I started by using Gina K Designs Foil Mates in Elegant Damask and Silver Therm O Web Foil. 

I added a strip of solid white ribbon on the lower part of the card. Then I layered that onto a silver cardstock and then a white card base.

I heat embossed using WOW Bright White powder and Ink on 3's Embossing Ink onto more silver cardstock that I die cut using a stitched rectangle, that I layered onto a white piece of cardstock.

Clearly, I also needed a Mrs. & Mrs. wedding card too! I used the other pattern from the Elegant Damask Foil Mates and gold Therm O Web foil this time. 

I had a card base from a Michael's pack that had a foiled edge that I layered my foiled damask onto. I used some Love From Lizi black Peel Offs and added a few on two opposing corners to give a bit of a framed feel.

I have a bunch of random pieces from different kits over the years and that includes some foiled gold envelope liners, I cut one down and stamped my "Mrs. & Mrs." onto it and used Recollections Detail Black Embossing powder and Ink On 3's Embossing Ink to heat emboss with. Finally, I backed that with some black cardstock and popped it onto my card.
