Greetings!
When the recent release of online exclusives was introduced, I was so excited to see the Drizzling Droplets stamp set. One large stamp to use for backgrounds and it's a DistINKtive™ stamp, meaning it's designed so the opacity of the image varies, giving it a lot of texture. I ordered it as soon as I was able, and it has been sitting out waiting for me to play with it. Today I told myself, do something with this!
I knew the sample I had seen online with the stamp was part of the reason I really liked it. With that being said, my card is very similar, but I switched up which stamps I used from the Sentimental Park stamp set and used different colors. The Ombre' look really pairs nicely with the thinning of the quantity of droplets and the only papers I had with the Ombre' feature are from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Papers (DSP). Since Bubble Bath was the color of the paper, that was a big part of my decision for my color choices. I share these thoughts and decisions with you as a reminder to look at what you have and switch things out along the way. This way you can still have a great card, use the general layout, or color combinations or whatever, but be flexible enough to know you don't need to have exactly the same products to still produce a beautiful card.
What can I say? Somedays, I really look to various samples for my inspiration, and at other times it is all in my head. Today I needed a little help with my creativity but I am super happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it too!
