Young At Heart

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Pals Blog Hop! There were a lot of adorable critter cards. You can click HERE to see my card again. I played along as well with the Mystery Blog Candy giveaway. You have until noon on Friday to comment on that Blog Hop card for a chance to win. I will post the winner on Friday afternoon.

Today I have switched to a humorous Birthday for a sweet friend. I have used the ladies from the Young At Heart Stamp Set.

The gorgeous Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder has pretty much stolen the show! The details on this embossed image are amazing. I cannot believe I haven’t used it before now. This will be the first of many.

I stamped the image in Gray Granite Ink and then colored with a variety of the Stampin’ Blends. The Purple Posy Blends pair beautifully with the Highland Heather. The base of the card is Purple Posy and the layer is Highland Heather as well.

The sentiment I used for the front is only part of the sentiment. The inside has the full sentiment stamped.

I can definitely relate to the “feeling” the age! LOL!! But back to stamping….. There are two ways to use only part of a sentiment stamp. Actually there are three, the third is to cut the stamp apart. I only do that in drastic measures!! The main two methods are to either color only the section you want with a Stampin’ Write Marker, or for Two is to use a post it note to cover the section you do not want, ink the stamp (remove the post it note) and stamp the sentiment.

I went with the Stampin’ Write Marker method. That is , at least to me, the easiest method to get a partial stamping. I know it is more expensive now to purchase the markers since they are only sold in the color categories. However, it is a great way to get all of the colors without having to purchase all of the ink pads. Also, you can purchase the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker individually. Most of my sentiments are stamped in Black anyway. Just a thought.

Thank you for stopping in today!
