Skipping Stones Design

There is a little swirly pattern found in the stamp set and I used that to make the swirly background. You can’t tell it in the picture but I used Brilliance ink so there is a subtle shine and glimmer to match the glittery patterned paper.

I made this for my husband so in order to make it a little more masculine, I chose the gray, black and silver combination.  The little touch of olive green in the image and the buttons really sets it off.

For the inside, I got a little creative.  The “You can have Olive my love” sentiment is from the Chic Martini stamp set, but I wanted to add the phrase “in 2013″ to the rest of it.  The numbers weren’t the difficult part it was the “in” that I didn’t have.  So, I found the word “Independence” in another stamp set and just inked up what I needed to make it work!

 For 2013, all of the DT and Heather wish you lots of crafty happiness!

Try new things!

Experiment with what you have!

And most of all, have fun crafting!
