Stamp as it Goes

Welcome to another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  I have a question for you stampers.  Do you create a card with a plan and an idea of knowing what you 're going to make?  Or, do you just pull out paper and start adding elements and let the creative process guide you to a finished product?  For me I do both, but I am truly happy when I have time to indulge in the creative process guiding me to something unexpected.  Today's post features one of those creations.  

I had absolutely no plan to make a Valentine card, but I had strips of Modern Medley DSP on my table and and they looked great on Real Red card stock.  I also had some Red Glimmer and Gold Foil arrows from an earlier project so I threw them in the mix and knew for sure I was making a love themed card.  My next step was to find a stamp that would fit right in, so I grabbed Perfectly You.  The stamp set was a hostess set in the Holiday Catalog--it's such an awesome set.  I cut the hearts with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits and my last details are all about Gold Glitter, Gold Bakers Twine, and Sequins.

  2. I don't know how you do it -- your cards are always so amazingly creative! I usually start with a plan and then let it go from there. If I don't, it can take me a LONG time to come up with something. You make it look so easy! I love all of the sparkle on this and the mix of dsp. Beautifully done, Elizabeth!
