Cardz TV Stamps Challenge #6

This week for Cardz TV Stamps Challenge #6 Mary asked the design team to create any project using any of her Cardz TV Stamps.  I used my favorite stamp set Encouraging Thoughts.  You can find all of Mary's Cardz TV Stamps here.  I created this note card set for a friend.  I must apologize for this picture.  We're having a lot of clouds, fog and dampness here and I had a difficult time getting a decent photo.  I went with a black and white color scheme with a splash of yellow.  I used Authentique papers.  These were real simple cards to put together.  I usually use a very basic design when I'm making a set of cards.  I started with white cardstock for my base cards, topped with a black mat and my printed paper.  Sometimes I like to combine different stamp sets on my cards and that was the case with these.  My frame for my sentiments is a stamp from Darcie's.  When I saw it at my local scrapbook store I knew it would be perfect to go with my Cardz TV Stamps.  It's very lacy and feminine.  I stamped the frame using Momento Tuxedo Black then added my Cardz TV Stamps sentiments and fussy cut the frame out.

For my first card I added a lacy butterfly that I cut from the Cricut Home Accents cartridge.  I embellished the butterfly with some black pearls and used dimensional foam to pop the butterfly off the paper.

Two of the cards are embellished with yellow roses and I used yellow ribbone on each card popping the sentiments with the dimensional foam.  The last card has a pretty bird I added that's cut from the Cricut Home Accents cartridge.

Mary will be giving away a set of Cardz TV Stamps to one lucky challenge participant.  The challenge will run through the weekend.  Have fun and good luck.
