Customizing Sentiments

The hero_product_link sku="CL952" text="Hipster Animals"] can be used for so many different occasions - I used them to create a spring card here, and customized a sentiment to go with it.

When creating this card, it's best to build the wreath first, and then stamp the bunny. That way it's perfectly centered. Stamping the bunny first, and then the wreath? A bit harder to center - ask me how I know . ;)

The card uses some colors that almost turned fall-ish, but then I added some hero_product_link sku="AF134" text="Soft Lilac"] and oila! Something about the light purple just keeps it real for spring. ;)

For the hero_product_link sku="CL864" text="sentiment"], when I added my embossing powder on the sticky powder, I brushed off the tail of the "a" to change it to an "o". This is an easy way to customize the sentiment for the bunny. Look in your stamp stash for any other sentiments you may have with the word "happy" in it, and through selective inking or partial embossing, you can get a perfect sentiment to go with this bunny!

I love finding ways to customize and stretch my sentiment stamps - look at your own sentiment stash and see what fun customizations you can come up with!
