Stamp School GDT

Happy Tuesday! Anyone still reading? LOL!

I've been asked to be a Guest Design Team for Stamp School this month. Woo hoo! Stamp School is a newer  stamp company that is owned by the owner of my LSS, A Walk Down Memory Lane. The photopolymer stamps are fantastic--they stamp beautifully!

In June, Stamp School is releasing two wedding sets. I'll be showing sneak peek cards for the next three days. Here's what I came up with:

Happily Ever After

I started off with patterned paper and dry-brushed over it in watered-down white paint. I stamped over the whitewash. The dress is paper-pieced and I added some pearls like a wedding dress (although my own wedding dress didn't have a single embellishment--I was CAS even in my wedding). Here's a close-up:

I finished off the card by inking the edges and sewing a border. I actually managed to sew a straight line--yeah!

The stamps will be released on Friday. Stamp School also carries heavyweight cardstock and matching inks and wool felt. I'll be showing more this week! Thanks for looking!

  1. My mother made my wedding dress and it didn't have a single embellishment either, I still think it is the prettiest dress I've ever seen. Your card is lovely, the pearls are a great addition.
