As I was trying my hardest to create a more masculine card, I took a hard look at all the sentiments I own.
Each stamp set usually comes with two or so sentiments mixed in with the images. When I am deciding on a sentiment, I always gravitate to my clear stamp sets first, THEN as a second resort I reach into my wood mounted stamps.
I came to the sad conclusion that I do not own a variety of sentiments and even further, no masculine type phrases!
So, as I do, I ran to my computer and researched digital (digi) sentiments sets on google, Etsy, blogs and anywhere else that popped up. I did not find much at all. I was TOTALLY surprised by this! I thought for sure some stamper would have created pages and pages of downloadable themed (possibly) sentiments in a variety of fonts. I even searched Etsy for a store of sentiments.....nothing.
How hard would it be to put together an Etsy store and sell set of themed sentiments? **gears turning** As a frugal stamper, I would pay a few dollars for a good sized arrangement of handy sentiments that I do not have stamps of. Wouldn't you?
Anyway, I created my own sentiment for this card. I love it! See you tomorrow!
lol, you are hilarious!! All this free time to create has created a monster! This is a lovely card! You really have a knack for stamping grouped flowers/scenes of flowers and with distressed ink blending. Very clever with the making of your own sentiment. Sometimes, it's just the way to go.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with this wonderful sentiment, Cindy! Your stamped wildflowers are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, and the end result came out quite beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSome really cool flowers there. Like you, I have a tough time with sentiments! Try as I might, I never seem to have just the one I want... Thank goodness for printers. Happy stamping!
