It is Sunday and that means it is time to post some fun artwork using a CTMH product. This month, my friend Karen and I have decided to highlight Swan Lake along with the Stamp of the Month for September called Blessed Beyond Measure.
I wanted to show how the Swan Lake paper and the STOM could be used without adding the Fall pumpkin. Included in the stamp set are these fun leaves. I randomly stamped the leaves around the outer edges of my focal mat. I then added the berries that are also included in the stamp set. The sides are heavily sponged using Whisper and Fern ink. By the way, the paper on the left edge is the color Poppy (featured in the Swan Lake paper packet.) I embossed it using one of the new CTMH embossing folders called Wood Slats (Z3248.) I sanded it for extra texture.
This month, Close To My Heart has a wonderful promotion to celebrate National Stamping Month. It is called Create Kindness and features a number of stamps along with cute 3 x 3 cards. Using one of the featured stamps and Swan Lake paper, I created this card.
The stamp is only available during the month of September. It is totally handy image that will be usable for many different projects. A lined stamp, I colored it using my Shin Hann markers.
Last but not least, these are 2 of the cute little 3 x 3 inch cards that are included in the Create Kindness kit. For more details about the promotion, or to check out the Stamp of the Month and Swan Lake paper packet, stop by
