This week's card for Retro Sketches #96 turned out to be all talk-talk-talk, though it was a real Stamp-A-Ma-Jig workout!
I started by spending a brief moment looking over images, and quickly concluded that I really just wanted to use my new Word Bubbles framelits, so there! That turned me on to the coordinating stamp set, Just Sayin', and the fait was accompli, lol...
The "gee,thanks" is actually stacked on that stamp, so I had to SAMJ that right out of the gate, but the thought bubble framelit was a surprise: it's actually two pieces, all fine and dandy, BUT, the stamp of the thought bubble has those pieces too close together - you have to stamp the image twice, and really, you have to mask off some of the cloud so you can get a clean "thinking trail." (Insert quiet and ladylike growl here.) That'll all make sense the first time you use this stamp and framelit, lol!
Just Sayin' stamp set; Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Gumball Green & Daffodil Delight CS; Watercolor Wonder DSP; Island Indigo & Crushed Curry inks; Word Bubbles framelits; Daffodil Deight Stitched 1/4" Grosgrain; Chevron EF; Corner Rounder Punch; Neutrals Buttons (retired).
