Nevermore Library

As promised here is my "Halloccasions" masculine birthday card using the Nevermore stamp set (one of my all-time favorite sets ever!) which is also 40% off right now...crazy good price on this killer set!  The sentiment is from the new Essential Sentiments Too.  And a shout out to Becky Gunderson for giving me the idea to pair the glasses from the "Geek is the New Chic" set with the Nevermore set (get it, pair...glasses...pair of glasses. snort!)

Love is in the Air Skyline

One of the many cool things about Amuse Studio card stock is that one side is colored and the other side is white which allows for lots of creative options. For my "Love is in the Air" skyline card I folded Winter Sky card stock with the color/blue side toward the inside.  Then I stamped the building image on the front of the card (the white side) with Seattle ink.  I hand cut around the tops of the buildings leaving the left fold/score in tact.  Then I stamped the buildings again with black ink on scrap of Seattle & Pebble card stock, cut them out and added them with 3-D foam for some dimension.  I also used the edge of my black Tombow marker to outline the building edges so they would pop more.
