Up first we have Garden Silhouettes, the new One Free With Three set! Here is my card with this one for today:
I stamped this image on vellum, did a cut out window on my card base and attached the vellum on the backside. I think this looks kinda folk-artsy with that dp on it and the twine! This is one of those handy sets to have, so many different things to do with this set!!
Up next is a stamp set called Timeless Textures...and just as the name says, WONDERful textures to give your background, just by stamping! Here is my creation, I combined another image from Garden Silhouettes with it too:
I did the emboss resist technique on this one, FUN!! And that textured background gives it just the look I wanted!
