SENTIMENTAL TULIP

Hi, Happy Stampers! It's Ro here today to share my love of some sentiment stamps that are available through Technique Junkies. I don't know about you, but sometimes the hardest part of making a card is figuring out your sentiment. Well, I have a little secret....Simple Sentiments. Here is a sample created with a newer stamp set and a sentiment from the Simple Sentiments series.

TULIP WITH TEXT (S870)
SIMPLE SENTIMENTS 3B (SS03B)

First off, I love this image stamp. So much fun to color! And it is one of those great background stamps that you can use for a myriad of occasions. I stamped it on a good quality cardstock and colored it using Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils. I added a beautiful shimmer (see below) with some Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper. 

I have to admit, I love a little shimmer on my cards! And this Dazzle certainly fills the bill!  I added some torn paper to the background piece and attached them to an A2 card base. Next I added the sentiment, also with a torn paper background to the top to finish off my card.

Now let's talk sentiments. I love, love, love (did I mention love?) the Simple Sentiments sets. Whether you like a more chunky style like the A series, a cleaner font like the B series, or a vertical font like the C series, you are sure to find one to perfectly capture the message you want to share on your project.  Admittedly, I will use the B series the most since I like a clean look. But I have used the A series quite a bit too for the cards that need a bolder sentiment. I have compiled the complete series of stamps in a few images below so you can see them all and see which ones are your favorite.

I keep these sitting on the "easy access" portion of my stamping area. I reach for them so often, they earned their own spot of honor. I can always find just the right sentiment for my project.
