When life gives you lemons...

If you thought I was going to say "make lemonade" you couldn't be more wrong. :)

A week or so ago a fellow blogger (Paula from Stamford, CT) was sharing some of her word art digi stamps and asked if anyone had any favorite quotes that she could use for inspiration. I gave her my favorite and today she emailed me that she had created a digital stamp from my quote. She is so amazing and made both a black and white and a colored stamp. To see her original post and to download a copy for yourself, click here.

Here's my take on her awesome stamp.

I printed the colored stamp 3 times on cardstock. The first one I cut out with a thin white border around it and mounted on a 3"x3" brown square. The second copy I cut out around the frame of the quote and mounted it with dimensionals above the original. The 3rd one I cut out only the chocolates, which I then inked with an embossing stamp and melted with my heat gun. I repeated this step 3 or 4 times until it was perfectly smooth all over. I then attached it over the chocolates on the top layer. I recently purchased some ribbon that I've been dying to use and it perfectly matched her colored stamp. I also embossed a piece of white cardstock with my favorite Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

I loved this stamp so much I decided to make a one layer card for the Less is More challenge this week where the sentiment is the focal point. I liked this one equally well.Thanks for stopping by.
