Just Saying Hi

Hi Everyone!

Here's a picture stand I created for my two older girls to display on their desk. Ariana and Natalie just love to text their cousin and friends on their phone. I love the ALM I Need Some Face Time stamp set from My Favorite Things. This was definitely a stamp I just had to have. For the base of my stand, I adhered a 6x6 Kraft card stock that I scored at 2" and 4". Then, I adhered the 6x6 Kraft card stock to the card. I thought rather than giving this to my girls as a card, they can have this as a display. The paper collection I used is the Portobello Road by My Minds Eye. I really love the shades of blue in this collection. Its not often that I work with blues, but I have to get the collection if the shade of blue is pretty. I colored the stamped image using my Copic markers and also paper pieced her top and shoes. I thought since one of the design papers had words on it that it would be perfect to paper piece for the center of the phone . I love that it looks like a text message. Of course, you can't have a phone without some BLING. I added these adorable star blings from Recollections and placed them around the outer part of the phone and just adore how it turned out. I placed the image on the a Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Three die cut. I then fussy cut the banner with the birds from one of the design papers and placed it across the picture. The Eiffel tower die cut is from the Antique Paperie by Colorbok. That collection is perfect with the Portobello Road. I placed the Eiffel tower beside one of my favorite Beige Sheer Flower from Bev and added a ribbon buckle with a 10mm baby blue flat back pearl. I layered ThePiecebyPiece gorgeous Sheer Floral Squares in Aqua which I cut a small strip and then layered the Sheer Pleated Ribbon in White on top. I stamped the sentiment "Just Saying Hi" from the stamp set and love how this turned out.
