This month we were challenged as follows:
Challenge: Use the color red, a circle, a pink ribbon and MORE THAN ONE My Pink Stamper stamp.
I have been creating with the Cricut cartridge Victorian Romance and decided that I would use this cart with Robyn's stamps to create a mini word book for my project.
*** I went back and added shadows to the lettering and some liquid Pearls. I didn't like how the lettering didn't pop against the similar backgrounds. As I add embellishments to each additional page, I will update the pictures. =)
Materials Used:
- Cricut cartridge Victorian Romance
- My Pink Stamper From the Heart stamp set
- K&Company McKenna paper pad
- Ranger Worn Lipstick distress ink
- Stampin' Up! cardstock in Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Mellow Moss and Always Artichoke
- Misc. ribbon from my stash
I want to add some more soft bling and embellishing to the mini as well, but I wanted to keep it clean and simple for the blog hop.
Here are the files to this word book if you would like to easily recreate:

i love the cuts from the cartridge you used. I too may now have to get it now that I've seen them used like this. I'm sure my hubby will thank you for inspiring me to go buy another cricut cartridge hee-hee. I've yet to do a chipboard anything but I think I just might do an album now.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words of encouragment on my blog today. I have to say, I was in awe of your project over the weekend. The DETAIL and TIME! I loved it!
