I've just been playing with some new paper from October Afternoon called Modern Homemaker. I love anything retro 50s, if it's kitschy and cute it catches my eye. I thought the paper would look good paired with my new Hero Arts Scalloped Flower stamp. It has a fun whimsical style that pairs well with the nostalgic paper. So when you have the perfect paper and the perfect stamp, you do some paper piecing!
I thought it would be fun to make a set of cards with slight variations.....
I used some Hero Hues layering paper in Powder for the background which was trimmed, border punched and stamped with another new stamp, Envelope Pattern. I added the sentiments with my absolute favorite: Essential Messages a clear set from Hero Arts. I just love the happy typewriter font.
