Hi crafty friends. For this hop as you can see we are Dreaming BIG with Pink and Main.  This is a new to me company and I am really impressed with the variety of products. As a SFL DT, we got to pick a stamp set but as you will see, I had to get a couple of more on my own, couldn't resist!!!

This stamp set is the feature one, that I got as a SFL DT. I love anything sunburst so when I saw this, I knew I needed it for the collection.

TECHNIQUES USED:

One layer card other than the clouds. I stamped those and then fussy cut them out.

Using a ruler, I drew a black box around the sunburst image.

Making my own "background", I used the small sun/flower images and filled in around the main focal image. 

Lastly, I used Stickles on the sunburst... I need my glitter!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Second card, when I saw these BIG word stamp set and dies, I KNEW I had to have them, so these are set that I bought extra.

 TECHNIQUES USED:

I die cut out the Hello using a pattern paper then taking a color pencil, I traced the outside of the die cut, just the right side, not the left.

For a contrasting pattern, I used 4 different washi tapes in blacks and grays. I slanted and overlapped them. It took all of 60 secs. I really like how it came out.

-------------------------------------------------------

For my last card example, I had to get the BIG thanks die and stamp set ( pssst... I have the BIG Wish stamp and die set coming in the mail soon, yay!!!)

 TECHNIQUES USED:
I stamped the thanks sentiment multiple times BUT, I offset the "second and third" generation stamp so I got this really cool outline effect. I love it!!!!  If you don't know what I mean my generation stamp... The first time you stamp down on the paper is when you stamp is nice and inked up giving you a dark image, now doing nothing to the stamp but  pressing it back down on the paper will give you a second impression of the stamp thus the second generation stamp and so on until there is no more ink on the stamp.

Lastly, I used the washi tape to outline 2 edges of the card.

Thank you for hopping along!!!!!

I hope you are enjoying the hop and
