Hello Ai Friends!
I hope you had a great weekend and your Monday is off to a good start! I love the Art Impressions Window stamps, and my project today features the Greatest Gift Window set. It's been around for quite a while, but it's new to me and I think this stamp design is certainly timeless! The sentiment reads: "The greatest gift we can receive in life is a true friend." Isn't that the truth?!!
I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. I wanted to use my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and, for me, the Strathmore paper works wonderfully! I also added some clear sparkle to parts of the image for some sparkle!
After I colored the image with my Zigs (colors listed below) I die cut it out with a Square Double Stitched die. I wanted a thin matte layer for my image so I cut a piece of green cardstock to go behind it.
Next I used some two-sided patterned paper and die cut it with the 3D Frame Die. This is really easy to assemble and I added glue to the tabs to secure it all. I then cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the back of the frame for more stability. I also die cut an extra stand from 110# white cardstock to glue to the patterned paper stand to make it stronger.
Here is a close up showing that fun sparkle!
For a bit of dimension, I put some thin foam tape behind the matted image and added it to the center of the frame.
I think this would be perfect to tuck in with a gift for that special friend! I hope you will give these Window stamps a try! So fun and easy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful, crafty week!
