Message in a Bottle - Inspiration Post for Stampers Delights

 

Today it was my turn to share some inspiration on the Stampers Delights Blog.

To make my card I've used the very cute Kawaii 'Message in a Bottle' digi stamp set.  As well as the sentiment on my card there is another one in the set 'I miss seaing you' (clever pun!)

You can find 'Message in a Bottle' here on the Stampers Delights website.

I have kept my card very simple - this cute image doesn't need much to make it look good!  I coloured the image with Promarkers and then die cut it.  I made the mat for my image by drawing round the die and fussy cutting to create a thin layer.

I finished the card with some clear gems - a bit of sparkle is always a good idea!

I use the outline version to make my card.  I used one of the Picture This dies from Stampin' Up to cut out the three rectangular panels from Mossy Meadow card stock.

I coloured all the insects with Promarkers and fussy cut the bee and dragonfly.  The sentiment I've used is from Stampin' Up.
