Here we go! 

This is such a fun stamp set.  I decided to look through volume 5 of "Make It From Your Heart" pattern book.  It has patterns for double and single layouts and 10 card patterns.  I used the patterns #21 and #25 for inspiration, though did make some changes.  It's a great "spring- board" 😁for inspirations.   I think I've been watching too many Olympic Games!  Those divers are amazing.

For these cards I used papers from the July-August catalog. 

Card # 1 WANDER  Pattern # 21

 

 Card # 2 ISABELLA Pattern # 25

If I do this card again, I think the sentiment would start and end with RELAX!! I did some "distressing" on both cards, inking and roughing up the edges.  On the first card, I masked the splash so it didn't print and used Sundance and Raspberry, "rock and roll" technique for the two colors, then took the slightly larger splash stamp and used Bluebird, second generation.

Now "Hop" on over to  Brandi R - crzy4scrapbooking to see her work!
