label love Today I would like to share the card I created for the Add a Little Dazzle and Altenew Blog Hop.  When I saw the Persian Motifs Stamp Set, I knew it was one I definitely wanted to work with. I have to admit it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be to come up with a card using this stamp set and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets. 

I really wanted to think outside of the box and that is probably where I got stuck. The sentiment on this card was stamped using the Label Love Stamp Set. This stamp set is so much fun and is full of sentiments. This is definitely a stamp set I will be using often. To create the background image, I stamped the flowers onto Golden Glimmer Craft Metal Sheet with Black Archival Ink.

Then, I hand embossed all the images with the tools found in our Ultimate Sampler Pack. It looks complicated but it is actually very easy to do and will give your projects a completely different look.  Stay tuned as I will be sharing a tutorial on how to create this card.

 Be sure to visit  each of the designers on this blog hop!
