Better together

Friendship. It’s always so special to be able to spend special moments with family and friends. The moments we spend with others are often the ones that stick in our minds. I love this Wonder is best when shared quote on this darling Rummage Bin image. The brother and sister are so sweet together. Actually they are Richard and Liz’s little ones and I just love how this stamp turned out. To get a retouched photograph look, I stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento ink onto Ranger Glossy Cardstock. When working with detailed images, glossy cardstock really picks up the detail so well. Using Ranger Cut ‘n Dry Nibs, I added in colored elements by rubbing in dye ink. A great vintage look, especially in person.

Shared Wonder

Quick Tip: When using large stamped images, try using a larger card size such as this 5.25″ square card size. This gives you a little bit of room to show off your background and add a few embellishments.

Wishing you a day of friendship and wonder…
