I made a card for a male friend in the US. I find it quite hard to make mens card but with this stamp set it was a breeze!
I went to town with this card, I stamped the draw the line stamp (the notebook lines) in the background by masking off the typewriter. I added a spiral border punch to make it look like notepaper and coloured in the typewriter with an aqua painter and added some crystal effects on the typewriter keys. I used the note stamp to create the flag as shown in the sketch below and then the ticket duo builder punch to make a dumpy ticket and added the ‘hi’ sentiment. The little mini stapler from stampin up added a utilitarian feel to the card but it was all looking rather black and grey so the arrows from the wooden elements added some dimension and a different colour focus too!
The alphabet keys in the background in Basic Gray ink added a nice subtle detail.
Here is the sketch which inspired me….
I cannot wait to see what the other ladies have made with this sketch, I wonder if anyone has used the Tap Tap Tap stamp set? Let’s go find out!
