Hey friends!  I'm back today with another project for Ink to Paper's month long Holiday Create-A-thon!  For the whole month of November, there will be brand new Fall and Holiday inspiration every day over at the Ink to Paper blog

Today I'm sharing a card featuring the Beachy Keen and Bon Voyage sets!

 

Warm Wishes by Laurie Schmidlin

I love being able to use stamps sets for multiple seasons! Here I combined Beachy Keen, Bon Voyage, with a few sprigs of greenery from the Floral Christmas set.  The addition of the holiday greenery turns an everyday card into a festive one!

I did some ink blending on the background to create an almost night scene.  Afterwards I splattered on some dark blue paint for a bit of added texture.

After adhering the palm trees (from Beachy Keen), I tucked in several sprigs from the Floral Christmas set.  The sentiment and banner is from the Bon Voyage set.

For embellishment, I scattered on some wooden stars.

Fun stamping fact:  I use a stamp positioner of some sort on almost every project I create!  It is definitely one of my most used tools!  Back before the MISTI was created, I used one of the old school stamp positioners.  I have a very real (and probably unhealthy) fear of crooked sentiments!  😂
